MaritimeQuest wishes to give our deepest appreciation to Col. John Talbot for providing access to his father's magnificent photographic collection for publication on this site. The collection spans several decades and is filled with many rare and some never before published photographs and were are very grateful that he has allowed us to publish the collection.

We also wish to thank Patrick Langrishe without whom the collection could not have been published. Patrick scanned and rescanned the collection in order to obtain the fine quality images presented here. Thanks must also go to Philip J.
