Part 1 of this series did deal largely with the history of ‘Zeeslang’ and the people who sailed in her, but memories were jogged by the article and readers have come to light with their own nostalgic anecdotes.”

Much of that “nostalgia” has been incorporated in this feature – and it makes for exceptionally good reading.
