Reporter Clive Gunnell meets Miles Burton who is a model ship maker. He is sailing model clippers on the tidal pools off the Hoe in Plymouth. As a shipwright by trade and a former ships’ carpenter he was first introduced to clippers in 1923 when travelling across the Atlantic in a tramp and one of the largest ships in the world the France II sailed briskly past. A tramp ship is equivalent to today’s freight liner but with no fixed itinerary, rates for tramp charter were negotiable.
