For some years now I have been involved with 'The Marine Society's, Sea Lines' which provides links between schools and mariners of
all fraternities. My links are with one local junior school, to which my sons used to attend, and another in Wiltshire - see the story of the Bell in my "Page of
Knots".
At these schools I endeavour to present photographic slide shows to the senior class each year. You may visit 'The Marine Society' at http://www.marine-society.org.uk |
