Having finished my delving through the corridors of EXCHANGE BUILDINGS, and tramping around a few more streets, there is still daylight left to start looking for people who 'service' our vessels and their crews. So I have walked down to the waterfront to chat to some of the friends I made when I was checking on the sailing ships and packets last year. I am sure they will be able to furnish me with details of their suppliers etc. ~ over the customary tot or two! We start with.......
