Description
Bernie Howard's memoirs take readers on a journey through his life as a sailor in the Royal and Merchant navies. From his training at HMS Ganges in Ipswich at just 15 years old, to his later work for Shell on some of the world's largest super tankers, Bernie shares stories of adventure, camaraderie, and personal growth. Bernie's decision to leave school and join the Navy was driven by a desire for travel and experience. He recounts the differences between life in the Royal Navy, where conditions were tight but comradeship was strong, and his later time in the Merchant Navy, which offered greater comfort and luxury. With its unique blend of naval history and personal memoir, Bernie Howard's "Rum Bum and Baccy" is a fascinating account of one man's experiences at sea.
