| | | Translation | [INTERVIEWER] So you were saying you were born in Moreleigh? |
| | | Translation | I was born in Moreleigh, I moved to Churston when I was nine year old, I must have liked singing because I was in the choir at Moreleigh. |
| | | Translation | And when we left Moreleigh, the priest there gave my mother a letter to give to the priest up here. |
| | | Translation | Well we moved up here in November and we carried on through the Winter before any member of the church came to visit us. |

The first thing she did was to give him this letter which said I had been in the choir; so I had to go and join the choir at Churston, nineteen hundred and ten. I've been singing there ever since, I still do. |

| | Translation | Well, the two villages used to get on very well together, but the Galmpton people, if they wanted to go to church, they had to come to Churston. There was a Chapel in Galmpton, but when you talk of Churston Ferrers you've got to bring in Galmpton as well. |
| | | Translation | [INTERVIEWER] Yes. |
| | | Translation | I've beaten the bounds on two occasions, but now everything has been altered. Churston has been included in Furzeham with Brixham and Ward; and Galmpton is the same except for a small part which comes under the South Hams. |

| | | Translation | And there are still one or two more hiccups that they've got to see to before long, where that serious accident was a fortnight ago. |
| | | Translation | But by and large I'm quite satisfied with it except when it comes to dishing out for the rates. |
| | | Translation | [INTERVIEWER] Yes, I should say. You say you went to school in Churston, at the day school. Do you remember much about your school days? |

| | | Translation | But it was a really good school -- my daughter marvels at the things that I know, you know, and do, which they don't teach in schools now apparently, she was talking to me about the other day about divisions. |
| | | Translation | She was calling them shares, and not parts, |
| | | Translation | but I went on there until I was thirteen, I was thirteen on the Thursday, I left school on the Friday, my mother took me on the Monday up across some fields to a farm, Lupton Barton, and I was a farmer's boy, I had to clean the farmhouse, and I was up at six in the morning, I used to bring in the cows and milk them; |

| | | Translation | So I went back to the farm, left her to do what she could, and the next time I went home, she said, I got you a job in a shipyard, building ships. |

I said, No that ain't no use now, and that's how I come to go into shipyard -- but I was never happier in all of my working days than when I was up amongst those animals. |
| | | Translation | Oh, I could get a pig to act like a dog, you know! |
| | | Translation | And there never was no money. I know I had a toothache pretty bad one Saturday, and I used to take the milk down to the big house, which was Lupton House, twice a day, mornings and evenings. |
| | | Translation | And this particular day when I had the toothache I took the milk down. So much had to go in the kitchen and so much had to go in the still room. |

| | | Translation | I went in, he made me holler, he pulled my tooth out, and away goes my shilling. |
| | | Translation | But it was a hard life, mind, but it was a good life, and being among the animals, I think, is was what took my liking. All the young calves coming in, and they knew their mothers. |

| | | Translation | Anyway, this farmer bought this cow, and on my way home from Brixham up the back way, I used to get over through the gap and walk down by the railway line to cut off going down and around the corner. |
| | | Translation | And I was going down through this field, and I saw this cow, and I spoke to her, went over and made a fuss of her, do you know, she followed me right down to where I got out over the wall, and that was the end of that, but it was remarkable, really, |
| | | Translation | [INTERVIEWER] She remembered you. |

But I didn't do seven years, because I was over twenty-one; anyway, I took on this ship-wrighting, we used to get elm trees in, and each apprentice had to serve six months in the saw pit, you know, with a man up top, and saw back these elms because their steam saw wouldn't cut deep enough to go through it. |
| | | Translation | And we cut two seven-inch slices out of these big trees, that would form the keel. |
| | | Translation | And the smaller timbers they could cut out with the steam saw, and they had a band saw to cut the curves; and we built several boats. |

| | | Translation | And I lost the sight of my eye. Well, going for the compensation, one of the questions I had to answer was, could I earn as much after the accident as I could before, to see if it had affected my earnings. |
| | | Translation | Anyway I thought' it was no good asking my employers that, because they were sure to say I could. |

| | | Translation | So in the night this chap called on me, he said, You can start in there in the morning. My tools were still kept in the keel. |
| | | Translation | So I got a hand-cart and went down, got my keel, put my tool box on the cart, took it back to Brixham, and I was in there ready to start by eight o'clock. |
| | | Translation | Well after I had started, I said to the Foreman, Now this is the first time I've worked on a building and I wouldn't know a rafter from a joist. |
| | | Translation | So I said, You'll have to keep your eye on me, he said, I will do that. |
| | | Translation | Well I worked on during the week and at the end of the week he came to me, he said, I've put you on full pay, and I was working overtime, so I was doing very well. |

| | | Translation | So when the job was finished, we had to take the staging, the scaffolding back to the yard, and I was sculling the boat out with all this gear on, and Mr Jackson was there as well. |
| | | Translation | So on the way out I said, I never had any papers from you, to say that I worked for you for those years. |

|
|
| that | ='s | | DIST.SG | =be.PRS.3SG |
| | Translation | Yes, yes. You ssee, there's nothing on the straight on a ship, it is all on the bevel and on the bend, and when it came to planking -- you know, that's the outside skin of the ship -- you got planks two inches thick, perhaps six or seven inches deep. |
| scaldeddem_pro:s=cop
|
|
| that | ='s | | DIST.SG | =be.PST.3SG |
| | Translation | Well they wouldn't bend cold, so we had what we called the steam kiln, you push them in there for two, three hours and steam them, take them out, take them down to the ship and put them around -- but when you were carrying them on your shoulder, you know, everybody used to put their cap on their shoulder to keep themselves from being scalded. But that's how those timbers were bent, you know? |
| | | Translation | [INTERVIEWER] I see, yeah. |
| | | Translation | [INTERVIEWER] They were steamed. |
| | | Translation | And they were taken down and clamped up to the side and fastened. |
| | | Translation | And then you'd get ready to treat more planks for the next day, and get them all ready, because the edges of the planks weren't square; they were a little bit bevelled to allow for the caulking, you know that was driving in the oakum, the joint would be v-shaped, wider on the outside and tight on the inside. |
| caulkingnp:pred

|
| that | ='s | | DIST.SG | =be.PRS.3SG |
| | Translation | [INTERVIEWER] Yeah. Yes, that's right, yeah. What do you mean by caulking? What do you mean by that? |
| | | Translation | Well, I don't know if you've ever heard of the term picking oakum. |
| | | Translation | [INTERVIEWER] No. |
| | | Translation | Well they used to do it in Dartmoor gaol, they used to get rope and pick it all to pieces to make it like cotton. Well that would be oakum. |
| | | Translation | [INTERVIEWER] Oh, I see. |
| | | Translation | And then it was sold to the shipyards in bales, and we'd take it and spread it on our knee and make something like a rope of it. |
| | | Translation | Well, that was rammed into those joints, three lots, you know, you go over it three times. And the last one would be driven in with what we called a hawsing iron-- |
| | | Translation | [INTERVIEWER] A what iron? A what iron? |
| | | Translation | Hawsing, hawsing; h-a-w-s-i-n-g, I suppose it's spelled. |
| | | Translation | [INTERVIEWER] Hawsing. Yeah, yeah. |
| knowdem_pro:s=cop
|
|
| that | ='s | | DIST.SG | =be.PRS.3SG |
| | Translation | But that would be rammed in, one without the iron in a bridle, and the other would come along with a pestle, you know, that's a wooden, big wooden mallet, and that'd drive it in. |
| | | Translation | And then it would be filled up outside with either red lead or pitch. |
| | | Translation | That made them water-tight. |
| | | Translation | But I was down Plymouth one day and I saw the first ship ever I worked on, called the Sea-Plane. |
| | | Translation | I don't know what part of Plymouth it was, I know there was a gas works near and the Sea-Plane was there by the quay, and they'd started ripping her up, and I spoke to the people who lived near that place, I said, I see they breaking up the Sea-Plane over there. |
| | | Translation | He said, Yes, they've got a job on it too, he said that in fact they used dynamite to try and blow up the pieces up there. |
| | | Translation | [INTERVIEWER] Good grief! It was so well built that they couldn't break it? |
| | | Translation | Yeah. So that was the end of the Sea-Plane. |
| | | Translation | [INTERVIEWER] Yeah, yeah. So how long would it have taken then to build a boat, from the very beginning of treating the timber to the end? |
| | | Translation | Well that would all depend on whether the boat was wanted in a hurry. But give us about six to nine months from start to finish, but there used to be repair jobs coming in in the meanwhile. |
| | | Translation | They'd come in on the beach in Brixham, you put them up on the stocks and some had new keels, new bottoms, you know, they had been on the rocks and had to have new planks. |
| | | Translation | But if there wasn't a lot of that to be done, it was just well from six months onwards, and you'd get a new boat. |
| | | Translation | [INTERVIEWER] It's not long is it, really, considering the workmanship that went into the boat? |
| | | Translation | [INTERVIEWER] It's not long at all, really. Who actually would be ordering the boats that you made, would they all be privately owned or would they have been owned by larger companies? |
