That doesn't come to mind, had you worked with my father? Unfortunately he past away the eve of the millenium.
-
He also got into a lot of trouble when he went through the oyster beds off Whitstable!!! Happy, but hard and long working hours for all the men.
-
He was so worried on the Tilbury trial about the boilers being lit too quickly and them cracking he kept warning us to get ready if anything happened. He had experienced his friends all drowning in a few minutes & it never left him. I remember he took the wheel briefly, with his Captain's cap on and needed to give instructions to the engine room and he kept shouting "It would be quicker to send a carrier pigeon!"

My father was Captain Cyril Phillips the last Captain of the last steam tug on the Thames, the Challenge. He would be so pleased to see her in this condition. I remember him taking my daughter and myself up to Tower Bridge, St Catherine's Dock some 12/13 years ago & it breaking his heart to see her lying abandoned, rusted and abused. He did not speak the rest of the day & refused to go on board. The next time he went on her, was for the first trial run at Tilbury with my daughter & myself.cont.

He did his famous call sign on the whistle, it was either two long and two short or the other way around.

Very interesing comments. Have you heard him talking about playing "cock-a-doodle-doo" on the whistle?
