Those readers of
Sea Breezes, Shipping Today & Yesterday and the like will I am sure have enjoyed the articles by Captain Sandy Kinghorn - cadet to senior master at Blue Star Line and much else in between. His experiences on local steamers around China waters are particularly memorable.
Captain Sandy passed away on 12 May 2021, peacefully at home, surrounded by family, at the age of 88.
