For many years my Grandfather and Uncle worked for Cochran and Sons ship builders in Selby England.
I never really knew either but mom always talked about the job they did.
Grandfather was a blacksmith and my uncle was a fitter.
The ship yard closed down in the early 90's.
These rather large ocean going tugs were built pretty far inland on the River Ouse.
There house was only a short walk to the shipyard.
But keeping more with the photo theme, in 2010 we had the pleasure of canal cruising for a week in England and Wales.
Sepia sat.
Impressive pix of the ocean-going tugs! I've never thought of canal cruising as a vacation? I think I'll check it out! :)
ReplyDeleteIt is a vacation I could do over and over.
