We enjoyed interviewing Maggie Curtis and exploring her past catalogue of work and discussing her future plans.
What a time it was . . .
Thanks goes to Frank, Lesley and Bobby. As these chaps came forth with happy memories of working at Hinks' Appledore boatyard and working on the NonSuch and Golden Hind. They had nothing but smiles on their faces as they each shared memories of all the fun they had putting in a full days hard shift at the yard and playing football in their lunch breaks as well.
