I am trying to locate a distant relative, Jack Scott, who I believe was an engineer on this boat probably in the 60’s. He was my fathers brother.
I would try posting your question on the Information Search page of Boatnerd.com. They have enough watchers that someone may be able to help you.
My father Hank Rayvals also worked as an engineer on this ship probably in the 60s.
