Subject: RE: Beware the Fylde Coast's Sands
Just got back yesterday from visiting my sister in Lancaster, and had a grand day out in the Maritime Museum -----I learned a lot about Fleetwood,Preston et al from that ! Most interesting fact discovered ?? That the ship that appeared as the "Hispaniola" in the 1949 film "Treasure Island" was built in Lancaster as a trading-vessel. Must make sure I /we are in the area on a Thursday next time round !
