In fact I read the names of the 39 crew members lost with the Samtampa. We also visited the wreck site at Sker Point. What a day to Remember. The people of South Wales were wonderful to us all, a credit to Wales. I also served as Cox'n in the Redcar lifeboat for 15 years, so the day was even more humbling to me. To stand on the rocks at Sker and looking back to the land I could only think of my years in the Merchant Navy and how safe I had always felt in bad weather; but to look at the land at Sker I thought 'So close, Yet so far.' We will Remember them All
