In this episode of Folk Tales we join Haslar Marina's Colin McLean and Captain of the 80 year old war vessel HMS Medusa, Alan Watson OBE.

Alan shares a potted history of Medusa's illustrious career, from her first commissioning in 1943 to mine field marking on the eve of D-Day, right up to present day.

She is an outstanding vessel and a much-loved member of the boatfolk community at Haslar Marina.

We hope you enjoy listening!
