259522 AB. Albert Thompson Royal Navy HMS Golden Hind from:Barton on Humber The captain wanted to check on what appeared to be a Spanish fishing vessel. He asked those around him if anyone spoke Spanish. Someone told him my father, Albert Thompson, could speak Spanish. My dad was summoned to the bridge, handed a loudhailer and told to tell the Spanish boat that the Navy vessel was coming alongside. Realising he had been set up (he couldn't speak Spanish), he hailed, "Heya, youa, we are acoming alonga sidea". Both he and the seaman who claimed he spoke Spanish were put in the brig for a month.
