On a blustery, West Highland summer's day in the early 1950s, a
black-hulled mail steamer ploughed its way northwards from Mallaig
up through the Sound of Sleat between the mainland of Scotland and
the Isle of Skye. The spray from its bow wave flew high up her
sides and dark smoke was tugged from her bright red funnel by the
wind. A small boy, aged about two or three, wearing a green knitted
top and blue dungarees, sat on the warm deck peering through the
rails, his face smiling widely with excitement. The gentle roll of
the wooden deck, the smoke blowing from the funnel, the sea
splashing past in the wake, the seagulls wheeling overhead
squawking furiously and the mixture of strange smells all filled
him with excitement and enthralled him. In one small boy a love of
ships and the sea had been born. This love grew to embrace the
Polar regions when, as a young schoolboy, he first saw the
gracefully tough deep-sea trawlers that sailed to the far-off
Arctic seas. He knew instantly that one day he wanted to go there
himself.
