Our intention was to provide a service to anyone who had a maritime interest. Our emphasis focused on the history of 20th century shipping and the need to somehow create a 'lasting moving image record' of the heyday of shipping at a time when we could boast of having the biggest and best merchant service and shipping industry in the world. I went away to sea at the age of 16 fresh out of Sea Train School and, without spending hours writing of my sea-going days here, I can say beyond a shadow of a doubt that, no matter what else I have done in life, those days serving at sea were the best years of my life. When I left the sea, I went into show business, and became a contract artist with EMI Records in the early 1960s. I found myself in the same stable as The Beatles and other internationally famous music stars. I performed all over the world in cabarets and concerts as well as on TV and Radio. I went on to co-star in the original version of the top rated televisions series, 'Candid Camera' as well as performing solo in night clubs as a stand-up comedian. Strangely, all of this was not so dissimilar to the life I had known at sea, which was also full of excitement, adventure, romance, change and uncertainty. Candid Camera
