Our Spike

The other day you may remember we were invited down to the pier for the naming of the new Divers Down boat "Spike".

The reason this was so important to was that it was named after one of our team who had served the Coastguard for 30 years. Mike "Spike" Williamson was a man of few words but huge actions, strong as an ox and an excellent plumber.

He was the assistant Pier Master until his untimely death in October 2004.

We would like to thank Pete and Pat and all the staff of Divers Down for a lovely evening and for this special tribute to a special man who served this town so well.
