One thing i,ll always remember was going up the Mersey on the Silverthorn (Coes first motorship ) in the mid 60,s and me standing ringing the bell on the Fos,cle in a pea soup fog . I mind the ould Man shouting out the wheelhouse window to callback if i seen anything. I can mind hearing a soft noise and looking up at this white wall passing a few feet away and faces looking down at us . It was a f***ing BIG CP Liner on her way to Canada . I, ll never forget that . It near scared the bleep out o, . John
