So you were there while the Glomar Explorer was being build &
launched ?

Yes! I worked on the staging on it, and even lost a lunchbox and
paperback book in the inards when a hull section got added while I
was working elsewhere :-)



You might get a chance to get them back, she is going to be scrapped
soon.

;-)


Huh, I need to send this on to some old shipyard folks.


reportedly she was sent to the Chinese breakers in 2015, but I cannot
find any more info, nor did she show up on Google Earth images at the
yard.
