The tender at Parkeston Quay, Harwich, from the early days when the Fredericia was anchored off East Anglia and before Wijsmuller's Offshore fleet took over the servicing. Correspondent Graham Hughes points out that this tender, the Agama, is also seen servicing the Radio London ship, the Galaxy, in the film Dateline Diamonds. |
The tender alongside Parkeston Quay. In the foreground, the tug skipper is talking to the shipping agent Don Murrison (right). Alan says “he kept Caroline going in the difficult early days when there was not much money about by keeping the fuel, water, food and the mail flowing and getting us on and off the ship - one of the unsung heroes.” Immediately behind them, on the deck, are Simon Dee, left, and Doug Kerr, right. |
