MY NAME IS DAVID GALLICHAN.
MY INTEREST IN SHIPS PROBABLY STARTED BECAUSE I LIVE NEAR THE MANCHESTER SHIP CANAL, AND USED TO PLAY AROUND THERE DURING MY SCHOOL DAYS.
I TOOK MY FIRST PHOTOS OF SHIPS IN 1970 WITH A VERY CHEAP CAMERA, THE RESULTS ARE NOT VERY GOOD BUT YOU CAN MAKE OUT THE TYPE OF SHIP.
I STARTED TAKING PICTURES SERIOUSLY IN 1975, BEGINNING AT EASTHAM, THEN DISCOVERING GOOLE, RIVER TRENT , HUMBER BRIGDE, THEN THE NEW WATERWAY IN 1983.
I WENT TO LIVE IN THAILAND FOR 3 YEARS FROM 1989-91 AND SPENT MOST OF MY TIME TAKING PHOTOS OF SHIPS INBOUND FOR AND OUTBOUND FROM THE PORT OF BANGKOK.
I RARELY TAKE PICTURES THESE DAYS AS MY FAVOURITE TYPE OF SHIPS ARE FEW AND FAR BETWEEN.
I HAVE QUITE A LARGE COLLECTION OF PICTURES AND I AM MAKING THESE PHOTOS AVAILABLE FOR PURCHASE TO HELP WITH THE COST OF RUNNING THIS SITE.
THE PHOTOS I HAVE LISTED ARE AVAILABLE AS PRINTS OR CAN BE PUT ON TO A CD.
