Ships'n'Sailors

[Waterways]

I only sailed out of Manchester once, that was on the `Manchester Merchant,` summer of 1961.
I usually sailed out of Liverpool until it closed then I was on contract to Esso.

Manchester Docks were very busy (one time the UK's third largest port after London and Liverpool) until the early 1980s, then it all went under very quickly.

The canal is superb.
