My initial intention was to build this puzzle from the centre outwards but in the end, the construction was largely from the outside inwards.
The initial sort gave me the edge pieces, those pieces with text on them, and the sailing ship in the centre.
After assembling the lettered pieces it was obvious that the edge pieces would overlap the circles with the compass points, plus knowing the relative position of each, it was apparent that assembling the remainder of the edge would be straightforward. The rest of the orange coloured pieces completed the outer circle.
A similar pattern was established with the next, yellow, circle. Assemble the lettered pieces first, place them in position and gradually fill the gaps around them. After that there were sufficiently few pieces remaining that they could all be laid out and the remainder of the picture completed.
One piece missing :-(
The box retains what I assume is the original price ticket - 85p from WH Smith. With this puzzle being undated and Arrow Games puzzles acquiring dates in 1978, I took a leap of faith and had a look at 1977 prices via www.hillarys.co.uk/back-in-my-day/ - 44p for a pint of milk and 23p for a loaf of bread. 86p would buy 400g, or 14 oz as it would have been known then, of bacon.
Bought more jigsaws…
DONE: 271 puzzles (180980 nominal piece count). TO DO: 915 puzzles (1084512 nominal piece count).

This watch came in a group of four ladies Swatches. The band is perfect, but the crystal is cracked. I love to wear it, though because I know I can't damage it any more than it already is. I put a peach jelly band on it and it looks wonderful!
