Description: | Duncan talks about his work as tugmaster of the Dartmouth car ferry and comments on the changes he has witnessed in his twenty years on the river. There is some background noise as the original recording took place aboard the ferry and a short passage has been edited out to remove excessive interference from engine noise. Kingswear is a town to the east of Dartmouth, on the opposite side of the River Dart.
