One of Freddie's previous pride and joys was our old pride and joy a Motor Cruiser called "Georgina ll" which my Father and Uncle converted from an American 45ft Picket/ Stores / Beach Boat which was bought from the Admiralty when War ended taking about 3yrs ( Weekends and Evenings) to complete whilst my Brother and I played in our Dinghy near the Wet Slips at Stockton, had some great holidays in the "Georgina" mainly at Scarborough.
Being very strongly built she was able to take the ground at Scarborough without any problems, after Pops passed away she was sold to Freddie to be used as a "Transport Vessel " to ships that that were moored to the Bouys in the Tees, Freddie was the "Del Boy" of his day mainly running Taxis but his transport Empire also included river transportation for the clientele
of the Robin Hood and the Captain Cook Pubs (Scotch Mary was a lovely singer)
