Dave,Paul,

Great site on a part of the Royal Navy Nautical History on Weather Ships and the importance of there use in those times when they were needed. All be it a small part that is rarely seen or noted in the history books.

Dave, Paul

Bringing back memories of the Clyde when I worked at Scotts Shipyard building HMS Euralyus in 1963/65. As ex Navy I always kept my eye on the weather boats as they were called by the locals, I was very tempted to join them as I had married a local lass, it was either the weather boats or the North Sea platforms, I chose neither and relocated to a promising Midlands town, Northampton, the rest is history.
Thanks for the posting.
