This is a very and important window to the past.
This relates to the other blog so its a bit confusing but once you are able to reach the letters they are really amazing,but I looked a little time ago and was expecting more ,where are they ?
I looked at the Victoria Cross account and really do find it absolutely interesting combined with your grandfathers letters.
Combination of your grandfather and the sailors of yearteryear.I can readily see the interest being aroused in your childhood of great and worthy sea adventures.What stories your grandfather must have told you.
