  • What an important man in history

    If your not familiar with this story like me you may not consider it at all, my wife had read the book and said it was the greatest she’d read. The film is fantastic with some very famous actors and the story is staggering it’s up there with Shackleton for shear determination and commitment. The result of John Harrison’s clocks changed the world for sailors. Brilliant !
