60TH ANNIVERSARY SIGHTINGS
Bex Quay - 19 November 2020 (NOBLEMAN outside of ROMAN):
The NOBLEMAN was my last new sighting today and takes the total of merchant ship sightings recorded in my database up to 15144. Over 60 years this is an average of 252 new sightings a year, fairly close to five new sightings each week! If I ever get round to a recount and catch up with sightings that werre not in the registers at the time, and add warships, I would probably manage to reach that nice tidy average of 260 a year. Nowhere near as many as some, but all records updated so far as is possible.
