TS Foudroyant (Trincomalee) - Portsmouth Harbour - trainees and Foudroyant Fair showing sail training and routine morning boat ashore. The 8mm film was taken from the ship's 3 Cylinder Gardner workboat and also shows scenes from the annual fund raising fair. The ship, restored as 'HMS Trincomalee' can be visited at Hartlepool
Great memories of spending a week on board in 1959 with my good mate John (Huggis) Hughes. Both of us went on to join the Merchant Navy as Cadets.
