A website for shipmates from Oceanics 1972-73 and other Oceanics school programs and friends of the Statsraad Lehmkuhl
North Sea & English Channel
December 17-24, 1972
After leaving Stavanger, the Statsraad Lehmkuhl crossed the North Sea and through the English Channel not knowing that a hurricane was awaiting in the Bay of Biscay. Included are some pictures below decks. One note, the tables in the dayroom were all smashed to pieces in the hurricane.
