    • His daughter Rebecca provided that pic. She said: I was on the boat with Dad (William ‘Bobo’ Hampton) as he was telling me he was never going to retire I looked at this beautiful sunrise and said yup Dad if I had your office I wouldn’t retire either. He was true to his word.

  1. You might make mention of Varley Lang “Follow the Water” back in 1961 book about the watermen. Lived in Talbot. Tommy
