Memories

[Tony Taylor]

A few years ago I saw a Chinese ship going past on it's way down to Tilbury, it was carrying three massive container cranes they were
towering over the ship and made it look small, for me it defied logic that the ship could stay upright and not turn turtle in stormy seas,
it was amazing to see, I can only suppose the ship was designed specifically for this this type of cargo, the cranes are now working on
Tilbury's London Gateway waterfront that is designed to serve the worlds largest container ships , cheers

A few more years ago, they would have been built here

Yes your right there Tony those were the days when we were known as Great Britain now it's just the UK, on Google you can see pictures
of Review of the Grand Fleet that is what the RN was like in 1914, I would bet every one of those ships was built in GREAT BRITAIN, but
today you're called a little Englander if you dare to be proud of your country and speak out.
