This collection was scanned and presented to MaritimeQuest for publication by Leslie's son Laurence Knight. We very much appreciate his time and effort in making this collection available and for allowing us to publish it on the site. There were very few notes or dates on the photos, which makes it difficult to place them in chronological order, so we have published them in subject order. MaritimeQuest Senior Researcher Mike Griffiths has provided much of the information and identification of the photos in the collection. Thanks to both Laurence and Mike for their assistance. |
