Shipworth - What was / does this mean?

I wasn’t there then as left shortly after the seaman’s strike to go foreign flag. Cheers JS.

Shipsworth, Something in the back of my mind is telling me that it is nothing to do with the cost of a ship. it's a word meant for something else on board a ship some term used maybe in the old sailing days, maybe, " no its a ships worth," about the cargo maybe.

#22 Not getting mixed up with Shipwright are you Des ? JS

Hi John.
No , I will have to have a look in an old dictionary I have I'm sure its something long forgotten, obviously or I would remember it LoL,

It will have to be at least 50 years old then Des. Even the old dictionaries gave the correct definition of a ship as a 3 or 4 masted vessel square rigged on at least 3. Today no such definition only a water born vessel usually carrying cargo or something similar . Maybe why the media is so stupid at times or should maybe say at most times. Cheers JS.

Hi John.
I don't know but I seem to hear something like someone saying, Na; that would be at least a ships worth, similar to Na; that would be at least a shillings worth.

Could have been Pennyworth Des ? Was on a ship called that. Put a deck store order in one time with 5 gallon of white gloss on , down comes the deck supt. Wanting to know why I wanted when I said to paint the bridge front it was grudgingly passed. Suppose he had to justify his existence. Cheers JS.
