Good evening, gentlemen.
Good evening, gentlemen:
I am Aldo, an unfortunatelly I am not a sailor, but just a dentist that enjoys a lot reading about Maritime History. I am currently researching about the brave british sailors that broke the Francoist blocade to de few Republican harbours still open in the final weeks of the bloody Spanish Civil War. I found some interesting information about the vessels, but not about the shipowners and shipping companies of the era, specially the smaller ones. I will be very thankful with any help. Cheers!
Aldo M. del Aguila.
