I think the ship was for the carnival and was the display by the warriors club that used to be in beeches road

Good grief, that's going back a bit..! My Dad and Uncle were on the ship (I've got a pic of them in their pirate rig-out tucked away somewhere...). Mum and I went to see the parade, but when Dad picked me up I screamed because I didn't recognise him - I was about 3 at the time, which would make it 1951, so I wonder whether it had something to do with the Festival of Britain..???
