Jeremy Wells did a great job of presenting this historical review... err pretty shocking but hey, we are all adults here right! I remember some of my first cousins of both sexes tell us stories of their travels down South to work on the Ships. Ignorant some of us where of their non-naval seamanship occupations believed that they were 'flash, going to become rich & famous? Huh! They left young, handsome/beautiful, full of energy and came home broken, wasting away, older and pregnant. Our families supported and helped them through their ordeals of poverty starvation, abuse, loneliness, fear & disease. Those who did not return home did well & went abroad or, stayed down South to start another life; of some sort beginning with 'P' for Prostitution I believed? But not any more as some of them I last heard about were not coming home & remain my cousins forever in my heart. But hey, loved this doco. Thanks for letting me view these :)
