Memories of the Ocean Ranger
Many thanks to Lloyd Major for his Feb.2022 "Memories of the Ocean Ranger." It is heart wrenching each February when remembering those lost in the Ocean Ranger tragedy. Lloyd's story gives insight into the struggles of workers and his personal experiences which he will never forget. I was touched reading the part: "On the lighter side, one morning at about 2 a.m., crane operator Martin Blackmore brought a seagull with a broken leg to the hospital." It prompted me to contact Lloyd which resulted in us sharing stories of my late husband, Martin Blackmore, and their time working together on the Ocean Ranger. Martin, like many others, mourned the loss of co-workers, with whom he had worked prior to February 15,1982. My Heartfelt Sympathy goes out to the families and friends of those lost on the Ocean Ranger. RIP Submitted By: NULL
