Marconi Marine Radio Officer and GEC Marconi Engineer Douglas Zeeman spent all his working life on board the once mighty Marconi Company until it ran aground and disappeared down a deep abyss.
Now, living the dream, Doug still maintains his sea legs as Royal National Lifeboat Institution volunteer educator going into schools and youth clubs to teach safety and respect of what can often be a cruel sea.
Doug talks about his early working life on the seven seas and speaks of his latest venture as a living link with the era of shipboard Morse Code at the Titanic Honour and Glory Exhibition staged by Chelmsford Civic Society at the former lighting shop on the corner of Bond Street/Waterloo Lane, Chelmsford.
