it was good sailing on the medway at upnor,i was in training on the arethusa ,I was there from 1957 to 59 when I joined the royal navy,idont know if you remember but john chancellor the marine artist had his Thames barge called viper moored in front of us while he worked on it,in 1975 the arethusa was sold to the new York museum, but about 3 years ago they wanted the Hamburg museum to take her from them them as they could not afford repairs,as she swas built in hamberg,she went back to her first name which was peking,her sistership was the pamier german training ship which sank in a tall ships race regards harry
