Читать книгу Recollections of an Unsuccessful Seaman - Dave Creamer - Страница 6

In memory of both my great uncle, George Leonard Noake (d.1929), who wrote this work in 1928/29, and also his daughter, Anitra (d.2007), who shared my desire to see her father’s work published.

To all those at Whittles Publishing, who have made it possible for me to honour my promise to Anitra.

To my wife, Hilary, for enduring many hours of loneliness, to all those at Liverpool Maritime Museum, Southampton City Council and Toronto University for assisting me in my research a few years ago, and to Lindsay, the proprietor of Bookbane in north Wales, for painstakingly restoring the original manuscript and rebinding it in a new leather cover.
