King Sol (A/S trawler) had a full-size
upright piano on the seamen's messdeck (c.1942). Peter Deacon played
it frequently at slightly noisy knees-ups at the Wallasey Dock
when they were lying alongside. A couple of questions that he has
never known the answer to are: 1) how did it get down there?, 2)
where did it come from? and 3) whatever happened to it? King Sol
survived the war. Contact Peter Deacon, c/o Nick
