"Capt Hugh Roberts O.B.E."
1895 ~ 1987 Hugh Roberts from Edern, like a lot of young men from the Llyn, chose the sea as his career. But three things made this great man stand out from the crowd. First, he worked his way up from a mess-boy to Captain, secondly he was awarded the O.B.E. for his leadership and sheer courage during WWII, and third but by no means last, he kept a detailed account of his life at sea. These have never been published before, and his family have lent us his remarkable story. They are quite brilliant in their content, from his first trip at fifteen years of age on a tramp steamer, right through to WWII, and his command of tankers, the most feared vessels by seafarers, as the loss of life on these vessels was horrific. So in his own words, lets go back in time, to the days of steam and his voyages. ~~~~~~~
