The Queen of the Grand Banks Schooners

[creeks]

From a newspaper report about the voyage in 1962 I believe that Cornishman might be someone called Mike Bygrave who latterly lived in or near Saltash in Cornwall.

You may not have seen this then - a photo of Taurua arriving in Malta. Not available online but I guess you can order a copy from the Imperial War Museum:
BRITISH FORCES IN MALTA 1960-1969

If you do get a copy perhaps you could post it on here?.

I've realised I didn't mention that there are two photos of Taurua in the Imperial War Museum collection, as follows:
"The schooner 'TAURUA' manned by an all military crew, enters Pieta Creek, Malta during her journey from Singapore to Toulon, France." - Cat. No. MALTA 62-247-A3

"The 'all-military' crew of the schooner 'TAURUA' pose on the boat as she is moored in Pieta Creek, Malta part way through her journey from Singapore to Toulon, France." - Cat No. MALTA 62-247-A9

Hope this is useful.
