The Vanessa Ann was my husband’s first command.
Hello Linda, how long was he skipper for ? 19?? - 19?? I could add his name to the listing.
Hi Alan,
John’s fishing days started with the Stella Cornupous, fishing out of Hull in 1958, he became a Skipper in 1966 having got his Master’s Certificate at Fleetwood College and retired altogether in Mallaig 1981.
Do you have any idea on the years he skippered this vessel ?
If not i will at least add his name as a skipper on the entry.
