    Known as the `Torpedo`, Tom Blower swam the english channel in a record 13 hours 29 mins in 1937. He was the first to swim the Northern Irish sea in 1947 in a time of 15 hours 26 mins, (the next attempt being in 1970). In 1948, he joined the elite of swimmers who had swam the channel both ways. This picture is from my father`s box, and I haven`t a clue as to where it was taken or who took it, but there does appear to be a pier structure in the background.
