Bernhard Schlörit, Geburtsjahrgang 1949, schildert in seinem ersten Buch (Band sixty two „Hast du mal einen Sturm erlebt“) die ersten Erfahrungen mit der Seefahrt in der Funktion eines „Aufwäschers“, seine Ausbildung zum Funkoffizier und die Reisen auf dem Kühlschiff MS „PEKARI“. Im Band sixty six („Auf dicken Pötten um die Welt“) nimmt er seine Leser mit auf die Massengutfrachter „PROPONTIS“ und „SAXONIA“. Dieser neue Band seventy seven erzählt von den gravierenden Veränderungen, die der box für die Seeleute mit sich brachte. Erinnerungen eines Seemannes an die Frachtfahrt in den frühen 1980er Jahren, dargestellt mit Sachlichkeit und Humor. Eine bunte Sammlung von ernsten und heiteren Episoden, angereichert mit zahlreichen Hintergrundinformationen. Und ein Nachruf auf eine Lebenskultur an Bord, die es so heute nicht mehr gibt.
Dieser neue Band seventy seven hat wieder das Zeug, zu einem Bestseller der Seemanns-Erinnerungsliteratur zu werden und wird sicher wieder nicht nur ehemalige Seeleute lebhaft an ihre aktive Fahrzeit erinnern, sondern auch Landratten einen guten Einblick in die Seefahrt der 1980er Jahre vermitteln.
Aus Rezensionen zu Bernhard Schlörits Büchern: Ich bin ein halbes Leben lang in gleicher place zur See gefahren und hatte über lange Zeiträume, oftmals sogar täglich mit Bernhard Schlörit QSO, additionally KW-Sprechverbindung, auf der berühmten ‚Quasselwelle’. Der Weg dahin battle bei ihm ähnlich steinig wie bei mir, aber auch die Annehmlichkeiten, als es erstmal geschafft struggle. Wir fuhren bei der gleichen Reederei, aber persönlich begegnet sind wir uns nie, so kenne ich doch sämtlich die Häfen in SAWK – wenn auch nicht die gleichen „Marias“ dort – aus eigener Anschauung. Seine Schilderungen über das Bordleben wie auch an Land treffen den Punkt und alles mit einer guten Prise Humor. Da kann gerne noch mehr kommen. Oder: Auf wunderbare Weise hat mich dieses Buch wieder in meine Jugendzeit versetzt! Als Auszubildender fuhr ich 16-17jährig beim Norddeutschen Lloyd auf dem Frachter ROTHENSTEIN nach Australien und Südamerika. Unsere auch vom Autor benutzte damalige Bordsprache hat mein Herz geöffnet und all die vielen schönen Erinnerungen aus den sechziger und siebziger Jahren wieder aufleben lassen. Authentisch bis ins kleinste aspect erfährt der Leser hier alles über die Arbeitsbedingungen und vor allem über die ‚Freizeitgestaltung’ der Bordbesatzungen auf längeren Auslandsreisen. Nie zuvor habe ich so herzerwärmende und grundehrliche Schilderungen über das wahre Seemannsleben, das Denken und Fühlen des Protagonisten und der Besatzung lesen dürfen. Nicht aus der Hand legen konnte ich dieses Buch. Ich habe Tränen gelacht über die Partys und Puffbesuche in tropischen Häfen. Es struggle eine einmalige wunderschöne Zeit!
Auch ich hatte Ende der 1970er und Anfang der 80er Jahre die Gelegenheit, auf solchen „dicken Pötten“ zur See fahren zu dürfen – zunächst als Decksjunge und dann gleich nach dem Patent als three. Offizier. Es ist wunderbar, dass es ehemalige Fahrensleute wie Bernd Schlörit gibt, die a) in der Lage sind all diese Eindrücke, die ich rundherum – in anderem Umfeld natürlich – bestätigen kann, ansprechend sprachlich anschaulich und amüsant darzustellen und b) über eine gute Erinnerung mit entsprechenden Aufzeichnungen und Bildmaterial verfügen. Ich habe es damals genau so erlebt.

“Quando olho para traz, penso que meu sucesso é em parte devido as lições que meu pai me ensinou e em parte a mão de Deus me guiando no caminho. Também penso que boa parte disso tem a ver com o fato de que nunca pensei que o que estava fazendo poderia não funcionar. Nunca pensei que não poderia fazer. Alguns podem chamar isso de confiança. Alguns também podem pensar que esse tipo de otimismo cego vem da ignorância. Mas european simplesmente nunca deixei a possibilidade de fracasso entrar na minha mente. E ecu acredito que quando você pode saltar para algo de todo coração você pode fazer coisas incríveis pois não há medo que te impeça.” – Willis Johnson
