How about working on a Old N.Y. City Sewage Disposal Tanker. They also carried chemical waste to sea and dumped it. This old rust bucket was built in the late 20’s or early 30’s and should have been scrapped in the 60’s, I worked on her in the 80’s. We were loaded and headed for the Poison Dump that was about 120 miles out of N.Y. Harbor, the weather was pretty shitty and when I was called for watch I thought I smelled something. Not sure what made me look down at the deck before putting my feet down but I did. There must have been about two inches of the crap that we were carrying on the deck of my room.
I have many stories of working for that company, including a gun fight right outside of my room.
