Skipper Jack Swansea Maritime Festival -Who's going? (16) RE: Swansea Maritime Festival -Who's going? 26 Jun 03

Thanks Noreen & Crane Driver for answering my query.

Noreen, I have got more (w)rinkles than I need and as for the "Baggy"? No comment!

We hit on the name for our group after it was explained to me by the skipper of the Maria Asumpta what a "baggyrinkle" was. The crew had set up a display along the wall of the Swansea Maritime Museum at the 1994 Swansea Maritime festival.

Sadly, the "Grand Old Lady" was wrecked off the Cornish Coast in May 1995.

I was honoured to be invited to a memorial service in Greenwich for the Maria and for the three crew members who perished with her.

The Maria Asumpta is still fondly remembered at the Swansea Maritime Festival.
