That boat looked very grand with lights and fluttering flags. My parents would go on board and have a drink in the evenings. It was amazing and very impressive to a four year old!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15067529376596811707noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3575321478441277410.post-59257380736914913792020-02-03T14:47:44.794+00:002020-02-03T14:47:44.794+00:00I’ve been asking around for years about the old sa...I’ve been asking around for years about the old sailing ship more in Ramsgate harbour. I remember as a very small child travelling and arriving by steam train, my face was blackened with soot and ash from the engine, it was cleaned by my mother in the usual 1948 manner, ‘spit on a handkerchief and vigorously rubbed’. It was I think my first holiday after the war, my widowed mother must have saved every penny to get us there !! Strange how images stay in your memory, I seem to recall there was some children’s entertainment onboard th Bounty, happy memories.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18299549429882367813noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3575321478441277410.post-38223882990843138842019-01-24T23:41:21.196+00:002019-01-24T23:41:21.196+00:00The Bounty in Ramsgate harbour was a barque ie squ...The Bounty in Ramsgate harbour was a barque ie square rigged on the fore and main masts with fore and aft sails on the mizzen mast, a barquentine is square rigged only on the fore mast with fore and aft sails on the main and mizzen masts.Tony Kirbyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17234477116245668103noreply@blogger.com
