Lucy still lives in Lockhart and her father was the captain of the lugger (Mary Lockhart) which used to deliver cargo to Portland Roads among other places. We asked her about her earliest memories of Portland Roads.
“It would be about 1956 or 1957 I would say. We were living at Portland roads, sorry, Old Lockhart mission. My father was captain of the Mary Lockhart – the boat – the cargo boat that comes here.
He was the skipper of the boat and we would catch a trip to Portland roads to get cargo and then they take it back (there used to be a big jetty and we used to run along the jetty every time)”
