1995, The Swordfish Experience, Swordfish II Trip, John Hicks

Описание: The Swordfish Experience launched during 1993 with a freshly kitted out Swordfish II; a cabin on the back, a galley, cooker, fridge, padded seats, sink, sun deck-and a bar! Now offering a much more personalised service to visitors John Hicks took to the seas on adventures that were decided then and there on the day. It even included drinks, food, cream teas! I'd talk more about it as it was a very popular experience HOWEVER if you follow along with Johns updates on his new scillyoldboatman.uk blog you can get the inside scoop along with loads of brilliant Scilly stories from days of yore 😉
To the movie! Here is another wonderful snapshot of Scilly history, with Mary Bushell to thank, as we hop on board Swordfish II for a glimpse of the Swordfish Experience during the mid-1990s.


This video was taken by a close family friend, Mary Bushell, who in the late 80s and early 90s did a huge amount of work documenting Scilly goings on and recording interviews with locals; making sure that local history wouldn't be lost and could be enjoyed by all. Though sadly no longer with us, her efforts will certainly not be forgotten.
