18:5130958I am just looking at my old seaman,s discharge book in 1985 I had a year at sea hoping to have time out from welding but it did not work out that way I was on sealink, one of the ships was the St David,the seafreight freeway,St Astrem,and the two what then was at Folkestone. I was the crew mess man,but after they found out I was Awelder,a year after that I worked for a company working the next 12years welding them up +the p.o. ones as well but it was a good job .

19:3330966AND NOW FOR SOMETHING COMPLETLY DIFFERENT. No idea whether this plane is local. It was with all the above shipping pictures. The markings may help identification. All I know is, it`s not Bleriot.

22:1170704I had a word with PaulB about these picture`s I placed above of my father`s. It was early days for me on here, and not having a scanner, I used the camera I had at the time to image them as above. Shadow`s etc appeared, not a very good job. Since then, I have a new scanner, and I can get a better size picture, and see if the new format on here gives them a better looking quality. I won`t do them all, unless someone want`s a particular one.

22:1470707 I hope that`s a better looking job. Taken by my father from the Prince of Wales pier I would think, sometime in the 1930s.

22:2470715 Again, these picture`s you`re seeing of ships in Dover, were taken by my father in the 1930s, and have never been published or seen before outside the family. Though of indifferent quality, they maybe the only existing record of a particular vessel, or more likely, the only record of these fine vessels in Dover. Any idea of what type of vessel this is, or even a chance of her name?
