Yesterday's question
This is a picture from the booklet.
pictures of the tug "Vulcan" are difficult to find
Note in the background the very tall Ganville tower, this was lowered in 1900 so before then. Note also the black face on Ramsgate Clock House making between 1842 and 1881.
A lot of books went out on sale at Michael's Bookshop in Ramsgate today
link to the pictures of the books
I have been learning about vlogging which I hope to be able to do soon although frankly it's much harder than I expected it to be.
I find it particularly hard to understand why the bookshop is doing reasonably well at the moment, I have to qualify this one with the explanation that it doesn't really make a profit, but it does provide a substantial proportion of the money we live on.
Two BBC news Articles today one about Clintons Cards and the other M&G suggest that fears about BREXIT are having a big impact on shops. M&G own commercial properties lots of which are shops and the already bad situation in the High Street due to the internet seems to be going into meltdown because of the possible affects of BREXIT.
somewhere in this mess of mine i do have the History of the Vulcan Tug which I will try and find, I also have a large oilagraph of her hanging on the wall to my left, in the picture she is towing a ship into Dover, this picture shows her as a stern wheeler tug.

Would love to see that 'stern wheeler'! Any chance of posting it on here sometime?
