All right,and put us up for the night,we all thank them.We all went down to the dock locks gate early hours in the morning,and there was the Pizarro waiting in there to go through,we shouted for some of the crew to throw some Jacob ladders over so we could get on the ship,we heard some body shout ,who are the men,crew was the reply.Let me know if you want to know more fromKen.

Good times on the old Pizarro.
I also was once turned away by the Sally-Ann. Been drinking so spent the night in the park under newspapers. NOT good.

a great story, we should have more like this, re salvation army refusing to help. they used to allways come into pubs where seaman drank, knowing very rarely would we would not give a donation, if they so hated drinking, pubs should not have been there operating areas. cant wait for next installment of your story.

My brother and his mates missed a Blue star boat in Glasgow,they approached the Sally Army for a bed for the night and were chased.They would never give to Sally Army collections in the pub after that.
