    I was wondering if anyone would remember my grandfather Walter French who sailed on most of the 'Heads'. I have some photos of the ships which I can post of anyone

    I was wondering if any of you sailed with Rowan "Dorcus" Dickson. He went from Apprentice to 2nd 1966-1973 and sailed on nearly all the Head Line ships. He lives in Belfast and is struggling with health issues right now, so he'd love to hear from anyone who sailed with him. He's at rowandickson "at" hotmail.com
