My dad never talked about his brother george who was killed in a fight in morroco? in 1951, George was on a norwegian ship the only english speaking seaman on the ship he was fighting with another seaman and was knocked off a cliff thus died the seaman was suposed to have got 15 years for this?.My dad got a telgrame from the shipping company thus he had to go out to morroco to sort things out regarding his brothers death. dose anyone remember this or my dad he was called Hector Eaton from Newton Heath Manchester also known as Ginger. Jimmy the painter. My dad told us when we were kids that he was a painter on the Queen Mary.He also missed his ship in Riodejaniro due to being in a brothel?. before he met my mum.
