A lifelong passion for ships, travel & the sea since I was born (or so it seems), on the banks of the River Deben in Suffolk, England.

Formerly at sea on BP & Shell tankers, then container vessels.

Now in semi-retirement, but retaining a strong interest in all shipping related matters, with a penchant for construction, conversion, drydocking and demolition.

An inveterate wandering traveller, who never seems to take enough photographs. Sound familiar? :-)
