I was a Ordinary Seaman on a ship inbound on The Bristol Channel, I had just taken the wheel for my trick at 9.55 at the start of the 10 to 3 watch when it was announced on the 10 oclock news on the BBC. The mate sent me to tell the skipper and we woke and told the rest of the crew, all the deckhands stayed up at least until the next watch change drinking tea and wandering around aimlessly in shock.
