Subject: RE: Help: Sailor with Banjo
My grandfather, Charles Edward Prewett, was raised in an RN orphanage, Greenwhich, UK, a ship's carpenter, sailed under canvas and around the Horn and was a former member of the Thermopolae Club membership in which during his time, required having sailed under canvas.
