Captain Eric Gowland
Hello All,
I've received notice that Captain Eric Gowland who worked for PSNC for many years, passed away last week. I'm trying to assist a friend of his in providing some history on Captain Gowland for his funeral this coming Friday. If anybody has any recollections of Captain Gowland or any info on the vessels upon which he sailed, would be very grateful to receive them. Many thanks.

Re: Captain Eric Gowland
Greetings Carolyn, I see two names Eric and Derek Gowland - Maybe it is the one person the sound of the first names so similar.
I really hope you and your friend are successful in time and there are some very knowledgeable and caring old (and not so old) sailors on this site.
