Inhaltsangabe

In his candid and honest autobiography, Colin Reed, remembers many stories from his childhood in Southampton, his 10 years in the Royal Navy and then a 40 year career in the upstream oil and gas industry including time sent as one the first crew members on BP’s Forties Alpha platform, one its most successful offshore production platforms. From joining the Junior Civil Defence in 1956 to serving onboard HMS Albion during the Borneo War, from living in Singapore, Scotland, Houston and Rio de Janeiro, and from working for hundreds of offshore and oil industry clients around the world, Reed brings his own introspective sense of humour to numerous incidents and experiences. All of this is coloured by his own family experiences, a mixture and tragedy and joy.

Über die Autorin bzw. den Autor

Colin Reed has contributed to the histories of his home town of Blackpool and of many of the personalities now remembered in the town's first municipal cemetery at Layton. He was born in Bispham, Blackpool where the grave of Alice Wrigley is situated in the parish church and which prompted the story of the burning ship on which, along with the tragic story of many others, she met her death.
