by James Wood
Less than a century ago two small villages on the Moray Firth were known wherever ships sailed. At Kingston-on-Spey they built the schooners, and round the coast at Garmouth the ship-owners had their head-quarters.
JAMES Wooo has many of the records of the old Garmouth ship-owners and in his talk he tells of the days when the schooners visited Riga, Suriname, and Valparaiso, and how their masters dealt with the problems of trading.
