Jock Coats See that little jetty, just below half-way up on middle left of photo? My grandad managed the boatyard that's attatched to. Used to do a lot of small Admiralty refits such as minesweepers - one of which looks as if it is still moored up on the main pier. What was it called - Adams and Sons or something like that maybe? Can't remember. I learned vertigo there - climbing up a ladder onto the deck of something that looked like the most unstable structure on the planet - a minesweeper out of water in the yard's workshop!
