left school on a Friday afternoon and sailed as a JOS on a pleasure boat on the Saturday morning. MV Crested Eagle. we worked at pier heads along the south coast. I found it to be hard work at first all the docking and undocking. we ran between Hastings, Eastbourne, Brighton and Shanklin piers. at the end of the season we took the ship back to Catherines dock in London. she was on charter to P&A Campbell from General Steam, Twin screwed with 2 Crossley engines.
