I was a Brassie on the Marretta … one of J.Marr & Son’s Sidewinders … sailing out of Fleetwood back in the early 1970’s … did my pre-sea training course at Fleetwood Nautical College …. with the merchant navy toffs … I stayed at the Fisherman’s Mission on Dock Street while they stayed at the North Euston Hotel … the Mission has gone but the North Euston is still standing …. and the ferry to Knott End is still running … But Fleetwood is a ghost of its former self ..Shame it’s all gone … had some great times in Fleetwood …. We were 3 Day Millionaire’s back then ….
