PWSTS May to November 1949
As a young lad I was very eager to go to sea. Having had a very elementary
education I was very pleased to join the P of W. I enjoyed my stay and
applied myself to the training. I met some great lads and enjoyed all
aspects of the training, especially seamanship and boatwork. The
instructors were firm but fair, especially Charlie Porte. It set me up for
life !!
