Fred Kooreman's Radio Caroline photos and memorabilia

Following the towing away of the Radio Caroline ships in March 1968, the two vessels languished, rotting, in harbour in Holland. They were still of great interest to the fans and a number took the opportunity to look them over. One enthusiast, Fred Kooreman, writes: “I visited the Mi Amigo in summer 1972 when she was in Zaandam, close to Amsterdam. I was at that time 20 years old.” Fred has very kindly provided some photos that he took at the time and, on the following pages, some documents that he rescued. We are very grateful to him for allowing us to publish them on The Pirate Radio Hall Of Fame.
