Re: Stanley James William Cain
Hello Ken Cain,
I remember your father, Stan. He was on Edinburgh Castle with me in about 1964 or 1965.
He had a finisher’s medal for the Isle of Man TT.
He also had a recording of motor bikes racing round the TT course.
He was mischevious!
We used to wait till we came off watch at midnight and the romantic couples were on deck in the tropical moonlight
Then he would play the sound track at full blast and have everyone looking for motorbikes racing past the ship in the dark, in the middle of the Atlantic!
Nice to be reminded of an old shipmate.
Regards,
Ken Burns
