The highlight of the tour was a search operation at sea for dangerous
goods, Before boarding the suspect freighter, the visitors
-
including
the Colonial Secretary had to be cleared at a check point like all others.
Hr. Roberts was then taken to the lower engine room where he was
shown the use of gas masks and other gadgets for the operation.
He observed with keen interest the search of the cofferdam
the lowest depth of the ship and a most likely hide and spent two hours
with the searchers going throught many possible hiding places among
the maze of the odd-shaped and odd-sized tanks and engines.
Nothing was found, but the experience was reward enough for
both the Colonial Secretary and the search team.
Note to Editors:
Copies of two photographs taken during the
search are boxed for collection.
