The Fish ’n’ Ships event on Tuesday 17 March was a great success. The Society received the following correspondence from Alan Linklater, who had been our Sydney Heritage Fleet Guide on the tour:

It was a real pleasure to have the company of the Glebe Society on our recent Fish ’n’ Ships tour and thank you for your interest in the fleet and your comments. You were quite a colourful, interesting and nice people to work with.

Alan is an enthusiastic Sydney Heritage Fleet volunteer and old boat buff.  He kindly sent us a a photo of his sketch of Strides Shipbreaking yard, which he drew in 1964.
