    I was on a 172,000 tonne bulk carrier called Ironbridge in the English Channel enroute from Sept Iles, Canada, to Redcar. We got through it, but not intact. Had to spend 3 weeks in dry dock repairing significant cracks to the hull and maindeck. The 4th Engineer and 2nd Mate left the ship whilst we were in dry dock and never went to sea again. Crazy, frightening and exhilirating. The ship was on her second voyage, having left Harland and Wolff in Belfast earlier in 1987 where she was built.
