Letters to Humber Divers From The Navy Department


The Royal Navy asked Humber Divers to help them in the survey of the Yorkshire Coast (We knew locations of wrecks that were not on the Admiralty Charts)
We also entertained the officers and men at your Seven Seas Night Club (see web page thirteen)
