From the Guardian, an obituary by Julia Jones of Richard Woodman (1944-2024), a seaman, novelist and historian of whom I had not previously heard.
"His imagination was captured by the works of Arthur Ransome, Daniel Defoe, RM Ballantyne and Alan Villiers..."
Lived near Harwich and worked for Trinity House. Historian of the merchant navy and the East India Company.
