Farewell to the 'Hispaniola' 2nd June 1950

Jauntily flying the skull and cross-bones at her stern, the ship, Hispaniola, which last summer was used in making the film "Treasure Island," left Appledore in tow for Scarborough where she is to become part of that Corporation's maritime display.  Lieut-Com S Gorrell is in charge of the Hispaniola.  Volunteer extra hand, who travelled all Friday night to get to Appledore, was Wing-Commander Cyril Johnson, of Birmingham.
