"Banana Boats"
Elder & Fyffes
|
The late John Davies from Tudweiliog
sailed on several Fyffes banana boats as Carpenter, from 1957 to
1962. These ships mainly traded between Central America, United
States, West Africa and Europe. His family has kindly lent us
his entire photographic collection, and they are a fascinating
glimpse into the every day life on a British Merchant ship of
this period. |
