Derek developed a love of the sea and ships as a schoolboy in Hong Kong in the 1950s. He returned to the United Kingdom to finish his schooling and then joined Clan Line as a navigation cadet.

Those who sailed with the British Merchant Navy before the container ship revolution may find themselves associating with Derek’s stories.
