In part this is to honour the producer Michael Mason's work, but also because the series has been well 'lost' and now may only exist on home taped cassettes. http://genome.ch.bbc.co.uk/search/0/20?q=the+british+seafarer#search http://www.ex-bbc.net/cgi-bin/yabb/YaBB.pl?num=1405000869 Please add a comment here is you have any cassettes or reel-reel tapes that you could loan this project. Thank you |

They have been digitised by an expert from reel-reel off-air recordings. They are just about broadcast quality. The search continues for the other episodes. === 2 Canvas, Hemp and Wood (intro / outro missing) 3 The High Seas 4 The Merchants 5 Charts, Sea-Clocks and Stars 6 The Complete Seaman 7 Stresses, Strains and Storms 8 The Long Blockade 11 Missing, Lost and Saved 13 Fisherman 20 The Dreadnought Navy 23 Jutland 24 The Battle of the Atlantic, 1939-45 (first 45 min) === Now what to do with the recovered recordings is a moot point. |
