    MYSTERY SHIP AT SOUTHAMPTON HAS A GERMAN CREW

    2 FEBRUARY 1950

    The ship without a master and about which now hangs an air of mystery, is the 250 ton yacht, 'Sylvia', now lying at her berth in the Hamble River, Southampton. Her skipper, named in Lloyds register, is Lieutenant Commander C Harcourt Smith, who said he would not set foot in the yacht again. The Special Branch at Scotland Yard has been spoken to by the master, and a trip to Hamburg and Bremerhaven, Germany will be discussed. The ship returned from Germany recently with eight Germans in the crew. Today (Thursday) two officers went aboard from a Customs tug.

    PICTURE SHOWS: The yacht Sylvia berthed in the Hamble river, Southampton today (Thursday). Members of the German crew may be seen on the decks and in the small boat. (FOTO:DUKAS/TOPFOTO)

    THE OLDEST BOATS IN THE WORLD

    Caesar describes , in De Bello Civili , the little boats '' with sides of plaited willow '' which he had made for his campaign on Spain , modelling them on the '' Coracles '' he had found being used in the barbarians in England , who used them for fishing . And the coracle or '' Currach '' is mentioned in the lives of Saint Patrick and Saint Columba , and in the accounts of their travels recorded by the Scots and Picts .
    The craft of Coracle fishing is still being practiced on the rivers Teifi and Towy in south Wales , has changed little in its essentials since the early Iron Age . But now , like many other traditional crafts , it is threatened with extinction .

    PICTURE SHOWS:- Allan Thomas and Edward Thomas , both grand -sons of 80-year-old William Thomas , hold up part of the day's catch . They are both proud skippers of coracles , but they haven't got a licence yet . If the rod - and - line men have their way Allan and Edward never will be allowed to practice the craft they have learnt .

    PICTURE SHOWS:- 80-year-old Mr . William Thomas remembers the time he was out every day for seven weeks and '' never a fish saw ! '' , Two nice salmon like these is considered a good haul for an evening 's work - with Salmon now fetching 6/- a pound on any market . Note the white wooden hammer on the thwart , used for killing the fish as they come struggling inboard .

    PICTURE SHOWS:- The stretch of the Towy covered by the coracle fisherman's license is from the main bridge at Carmarthen down to the sea , tidal waters all the way .
    This eight mile stretch has much of the bottom fouled by logs and tree trunks which endanger the nets , and so the fishing area is limited to a few miles . The rod-and-line anglers would like to limit the coracles men out of existence .

    CORACLE MEN

    A little bit of ancient Britain came to misty London today when two Welsh men strolled up Paddington station platform with Wicker-work and hide coracles perched on their backs .
    The two men- Mr. Cyril Jones and Mr. William D Jones from the village of Newcastle Emlyn, on the River Teifi, came to London to show the country's oldest system of water transport in the Lord Mayor's show tomorrow.
    The coracles, used by Welsh and Irish fishermen, are little different from the tiny vessels used by the ancient Britons. They are nearly circular, and extremely light.

    PICTURE SHOWS:-With their coracles carried aloft, William Jones (left) and Cyril Jones leave Paddington station.
