Life in commercial sail: herrings, oysters, barges & chartering, anecdotes and humour. Speaker: Michael Emmett
Michael Emmett comes from a family whose ties with commercial sailing on the River Blackwater can be traced back seven generations.
He was introduced to sailing on his father's boat Topsy and later shipped aboard the Claydon family's fishing smacks. One of these he bought from them when just fifteen years of age.
In 1980 he had Ostrea Rose built for his business- the Maldon Oyster Fishery. 1999 saw the sale of Ostrea Rose and the building of her replacement Black Rose.

Trafalgar Dinner 2015
Speaker: Jeremy Michell, Curator of Historic Photographs and Ship Plans at the National Maritime Museum and Commodore of Erith Yacht Club. His main interest is the 18th century navy, although his job requires more broader knowledge too.
