Did the Southampton harbour tour during the '66 strike. An incredible sight but I didn't have a camera. B****r!!

I recall the strike at the time as a young ticket lad on Hull docks, with the dockers earning a fortune in Bonuses to get the Port Lines Port Jackson turned around before the strike started. Other ships where not that fortunate and where laid up two a breast in all the Docks.
