I am very grateful for Your wonderful side and appreciate what You did. I have been a Sailor (German Merchant Navy)during the fifties myself (startet in 1956 as a decksboy). But stoppt after seven years and studied at University. Today I love to find pictures of the old Real !!!! schips and sailors. There had been much love and compassion on board the ships in those days (one can see it on Your pictures as well) - of all the wonderful young men towards their boats, work and comrades -- towards live and the world. I dont believe thats it is like that today. Thank you very much for giving all this to me and other ship lovers. Please go on. Happy New Year 2009. Greatings from Hermann.
