MORE BANANA BOATS
A dozen of them this time!
By Andy Gilbert
Following a recent request for photos of some of our Elders & Fyffes / United Fruits 'banana boats' - the ones that used to come in to the Fisher terminal at the East Quay almost on a daily basis back in 'the day', here are a dozen, taken from the albums of Les Harris, Fred Wilson and 'Macjack', who asked me to post many of their photos on the Ships Nostalgia website a few years ago - before Our Newhaven existed. I'm sure they would not mind them being shown again here.
