    Aye Aye Brian, I was on the Santos Star in 1960/61 when she was still the Constable under L and H, the Master was at that time Cpt Smith from Penarth. I don't know if he stayed with her as Master under Blue Star, as a lot of the officers would interchange between companies. Fine little ship and a great Skipper.
    Cheers, Glyn.
