Hi to all
Hi,
My name is Bill, I`m 35 years old and live in Merseyside, U.K. Unfortunately I have not been to sea, straight from leaving school I became my Mothers sole carer, a job I still do today, so my plans to go to sea would have to be shelved. I love ships and the sea, they are my sole passions in life and it all comes from my father, who was a shipbuilder at Cammel Laird in Birkenhead. Also my Great Uncle Harry, served and died aboard the Canadian Pacific Line ship, the Empress Of Ireland in 1914, but more on that in a later thread.
I look forward to getting to know you all and learning more about my passion.
Kind regards.
Bill.
