      Description: For many years Bobby Blackwood was master of the MARINER, a small topsail schooner of about 50 tons which used to run to Melbourne. She was "a big old ugly thing" and "You'd hear her pumps squeakin' in the dock all hours of the night." Blackwood used to have a small bit of square yard on top of the mast. To anyone seeking work he'd say, "Ya know anything about square riggers?"
