When I was 13 my uncle who was the Commodore of the Alexander Towing Company in Southampton Docks told me there was a job waiting for me. I would have to start at the bottom and work my way up, his son was all ready a skipper on one of the tug boats.
At school we were asked what we wanted to be when we left school, I said I'm going to work on the tug boats in Southampton, the teacher laughed calling me "Tug Boat Anderson", I felt so ashamed I never took it up. I was very good at metalwork and we had a Blacksmiths forge at school, I was good at that too so I became a Blacksmith.
