"Great to find this site. I've spotted my grandfather on the list. Captain John R Watson. I can give you more details. He was born on 15/10/1899 and died on 5/12/1968. His hometown was Glasgow. My father also worked for MacBraynes up until the early 70s. His name was David G. Watson. Do you have any advice on where I can find more details about which boats he was on?"
If you have any further updates, please let us know!
