I have just seen your "update" on Capt Smith. I have attached a couple of photos of the the man himself in full oratory mode.

They were taken during his final voyage on the Clan Maciver in 1972, while I was sailing as a Deck Cadet.

A great Captain, who liked to sunbathe on a fixed hammock above the Monkey Island, as did his wife.
