uboater

Hi, I'm Captain Williams, I'm the skipper of our replica u-boat submarine and Chairman of U-8047 TRUST

The Newspapers and TV, along with their readers, watchers and bloggers tend to cal me "Exocentric"; However in reality I'm just plain old barking mad.

Born in Bolton in 1960, I was unable to play the violin by the age of Three. By Eleven, I could still not read & write, and still cannot spell. I wos however bestish in Inglwish in err class, coss A wurr goodererr thun awll ove thuvers.

For most of my life I dreamt of a world where science fiction became a reality. I mostly worked for my for my self, experiencing many different jobs/professions, indeed before leaving school I was a waiter, a chef, a delivery boy, and a van assistant.

At 17 I was a van driver, then a furniture salesman, security consultant, furniture retailer, retail bed shop manager, craft market operator, and rug salesman.

At 30 with the age of computers I studied Media Law and became a freelance journalist, (see I could read/write and spell) I just needed the technology to catch up with me.

By 40 I was struck with ill health and went back in to bed sales and marketing. It was during this time whilst earning good money that I developed a passion for boats. I've had small ones, big ones, fast ones and slow ones, I've bought them sold them, delivered & repossessed them all over Europe.

For my 50th Birthday, my loving wife, son and brother finally gave me my science fiction dream, a replica submarine. " But now I've got no one to play with"

If you have a dream, stick with it and one day it may come true and you may get to live it. If not, then come on down to Clarence Dock, at Leeds and I'll let you play in my submarine.
