Subject: RE: Lancaster Maritime Memories
The year the press gang pressed Fathom. One year when we finished on a Sunday, I went down to the quay to say my goodbyes before crossing over to the East Coast or a few days holiday - and finding myself clapped in chains in the maritime museum. Leg irons hurt the ankles - it wouldn't surprise me if felons suffered permanent foot damage from wearing them for any extended length of time.
