terrific best yet- don't be afraid to go on for hours! this is the very meat of all stories!

[@andrewdavies4604]

Fascinating history.

Glad to see she survived the Maritime Trust's care of her in St. Katherine's, last time I saw her in the mid 80's I thought she was a gonner.
That sofa reminded me of the Soren Larsen in the late 70's, sofas and iron bedsteads nailed down everywhere!
The Soren paid £10 a week so not much change there! Onedin Line £25 a day!

😃Love Classic Boats video's but this is my favourite, what a story🌏💚. Friend of my father John Symore also was mate with the Bob 1960s. Sadly we saw Cambria rotting Dad was sad 😱. Sadly he dyed before seeing Cambria living sailing again Thank you #buzzofftoxic

Brilliant story.

[@richardgiles2484]

I just love the old stories about ships like this. We used to have two ex docks pilots on the lifeboat crew and some of the things they got upto were eye watering 🤣

[@almath9987]

My Grandfather once inspected a load of anthracite.. A touchy feely affair back in the day moreover than being of any real scientific measure, yet faced with a force 9 in January, nature chose to disagree with his assessment and shifted the cargo during a massive quartering sea causing his ship to perish along with him and 10 of his crew lost to mind numbing cold and drowning. Wet loads kill but foreign flags will kill more as our merchant fleet is undercut by flags that often don't even pay wages until they are forced to do so, causing our fleet to skimp on training and standards to compete and undermining the progress we have made with safety provision since the 70's. Post Brexit I am hopeful that any foreign flag we find operating in British waters who are short changing their crew can be sunk by our Royal navy. Hey, they need gunnery practice and think my grandfather would approve. :)

Bob -my hunch is your film director fine mutt is the most enjoyed mutt on the planet aside from Lassie & Rintintin🎈

[@barryroach1980]

Dick is that you on the youtube video, "Bob Roberts and the SB Cambria"? if so its a pity you cannot sync this and that vid as its a little piece of history.

[@ChakraKahn]

Man please turn down the sound of that first mutt in the opening.

[@myclassicboat9083]

ok. She's a lot bigger now
