Hi Laureen

Glad that the site is of some use to you. You wouldn’t recognise Fleetwood nowadays. it’s lost so much character. Very sad.

Hi , it was wonderful to see the picture of the Wyre Mariner again brought back wonderful memories I live in
Canada now since the 50s, since I went on the computer I go back to Fleetwood England and brows all over
England it,s great .Decided to check on the Trawlers to see what has been going on sad to see them disappearing .Your program is wonderful I bookmark special pages please keep it up.
