    That is a shame - tell him we miss him.
    I think I first came across him on this site before the Sailors Home.

    Appleton's is OK but my favourites are Bajan rums. I can get by on Mount Gay but Cockspur is my favourite.

    I think the names of those two rums are a bit..........,one sounds like a command and the other a boast!

    Default A NAUTICAL QUESTION

    A lot of us have shopped at the Co-op but how many of you have shipped at the Co-op, and ,if you did,did you get your "divvy" when you paid off?
    Has anyone got any info. on the Co-op fleet?

    Default Another Nautical Question

    We have recently been remembering our glorious dead,well how about the villains! What was the name of the British merchant seaman who was hanged for treachery in 1942?

    Default CWS

    I used to see the CWS PROGRESS in the Manchester Canal in the early fifties,
    She used to run from Manchester to Rouon near Paris. They had a small fleet of three ships but after the Progress went they finished with ship owning.
    The Master was Captain Hollingsworth who was quite well know for his excentric behaviour. One of them being, he had a rifle and would shoot at cows in the fields alongside the Canal. The Farmers could not understand how their cows would be shot every two weeks.

    What an incredible story.
    I am going to read it again slowly.
    Thanks for that Anonimouse, and welcome to the LIVERPOOL SAILORS,
    With a story like that he should be made Senior Ordinary Seaman.

    What a sad and pathetic individual. Under normal circumstances you'd pity him, but when his actions could have led to so many dead...
