Many thanks to Paul for drawing our attention to the obituary in today's Daily Telegraph of Kenneth Dancy mate of the salvage tug Turmoil. I was 7 years old at the time and well recall the story of the attempted salvage. I was a sensitive lad and both fascinated and appalled by the plight of the Flying Enterprise. What most frightened me were the photo's of Dancy and Carlsen walking down the funnel when she was on her beam ends. This was one of the factors which led to a lifetime interest in shipwreck and life-saving at sea. At that time I was unaware that earlier generations of my father's family had been in The Mumbles Lifeboat crew and that two had lost their lives on service. Years later I was in the crew myself and enjoyed 20 years of great camaraderie. Fortunately we did not experience anything as bad as the loss of the Flying Enterprise. Those of you who may be interested in shipwreck and rescue on the coast of Wales may wish to take a look at my website: www.shipwrecks-wales.co.uk Many thanks to all for a wonderful List and the knowledgeable members.
