Thank you... My grandfather had mentioned Capt Jamieson in a letter along with someone named "Morrison".. Was there a Morrison in the crew?

Thanks, Sandy

No idea if a Morrison was involved with the crew.  However, John L Jamieson, Master Mariner, died in May 1969 in the St Vincent's Hospital, Vancouver, B.C., Canada & his wife Johann Ursula Gowdie (also born in Shetland) d. July 1979 also in St Vincent's Hospital Vancouver, BC, Canada.

Am wondering if you have a list of the ship in question?  If so have you looked at Shipping Lists?
