BORTH A MARITIME HISTORY: TERRY DAVIES

The purpose of this website is to gather and display  material pertaining to Borth’s maritime history. Although having written two books on this subject, Borth a Seaborn Village 2004, and Borth a Maritime History 2009, I am continually receiving information with accompanying photographs; so this site is very much a work in progress. There is an expanding archive of some 500 photographs, many as yet unpublished. I would be pleased to receive any correspondence concerning family stories or memorabilia; which would be acknowledged and added to the archive. Any photographs of ships, seamen, sailing ships or steamer ship paintings with Borth connections would be of interest.
