George Matthews
Can I just inform all shipmates from the Palm Line of the sudden death
in May 2007 of the bosun on my first ship, George Matthews.
He will be remembered by the men in Plymouth who were behind him in setting
up an MNA branch there and always flew a Red Ensign at the bottom of his garden.
I have only recently been informed of his Crossing the Bar,
one of the true British seamen of our times.
Keith Langridge, Engineer officer.
