I can see a crew list from slightly earlier in 1965 but not sure if the crew rotated or not. Much appreciated, Colin Colin are you still looking? is it for a family member? I'm looking for my father who was on the Fairsea on 1965, sailed July 1965 from Australia to Southampton Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whooshgo Posted August 30, 2020 #28 Share Posted August 30, 2020 Hello Carolyn thank you for your reply I think my father’s name was Marc or Marco or something similar not 100% sure , I have done a DNA test and found a half brother, I am starting to realise there are a lot of Sitmar babies out there I was born in November 1961 so looking for a voyage to Australia in early 1961, on the Fairsky Fairsea or Fairstar not sure which one, I’ve only just started on this path so not sure where it will go, my father has probably passed away so I’m not getting my hopes up to much but it would be good to trace family history, how have you gone with your search any tips would be very much appreciated, Regards Whooshgo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lisa 1965 Posted November 17, 2022 #33 Share Posted November 17, 2022 Hello, I am searching for crew lists from Fairsea Leaving Southhampton in Feb 1965 and arriving in Melbourne April 1965? I was conceived on this voyage by someone who I now understand was not the man that bought me up, I am led to believe that it was a crew member. Unfortunately mum and dad are both deceased, I would love to locate some of my biological family and thus far have had not too many leads, DNA tests have given some distant cousins and I have had contact with someone who may be able to help, if I was to locate a crew list from that voyage I may be able to pin point my dad 😃 Please if anyone can help it would be greatly appreciated Lisa Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your search is made more challenging due to the fact the crew list will have changed many times throughout a 2-month voyage, with some crew changing in many of the ports. Having spent 40+ yrs at sea, with almost 30 in command, I had access to a daily crew list, but it is not a document we retained. Regardless of the challenges, here are a few suggestions: - Search for some Sitmar crew websites. Crew managed websites and discussion forums were very popular for the older ships, but sadly are declining, as many of the older crew pass away. Establishing contact with some Sitmar crew from that era, may help your search, accepting that any senior crew will no longer be with us. - Contact the company directly. Sitmar was purchased by P&O Steam Navigation Company in 1988, with P&O Cruises then purchased by Carnival in 2003. Therefore, old Sitmar records are now owned by Carnival. Good luck with your search.
