Re: Boat name
Im sure my granddad served on this light ship Helen, and I think the name is the area of the UK, where shipping forcasts would include every area around the coast each day on the radio ?

Inner Dowsing is one of the shipping areas off Lincolnshire I think? See: http://www.nationalhistoricships.org.uk ... er-dowsing
Great picture though! I'm sorely tempted to steal that for my Facebook profile page...
Hmmm - it seems now to be a wind farm!
And the vessel later served time as a seafood restaurant.
