Further articles in the 'Captain Ken' series are now available. In Captain Ken #8 - Buckingham Palace Ken Owen tells the story of the Buckingham Paklace Garden Party and the advantages of being dressed in his Merchant navy uniform! In Captain Ken #9 - The China Boats we hear about his days visiting ports in mainland China in the 1960s when ships' crews were presented with their own copy of Quotations from Chairman Mao Zedong, (more commonly known as Chairman Mao's Little Red Book). In the latest article published here, Captain Ken #10 Container Fire, Ken gives us an account of a container fire on the Peninsular Bay.
