My grandpa was from the last generation of Geordie sailors. He was an engineer for the merchant navy, hence the great uniform. Gran stayed home and cared for my mom and her siblings while grandpa was out sailing. He once showed me a map of all the voyages he had been on, and i wish i knew what happened to it.
