Charlie Browns |

Sometimes when I finished my watch I would go to Charlie Browns. Charlie Browns opened at 6 in the morning, seamen like myself and some of the dockers would have a drink before they go home, especially when they had worked all night. This was the most popular pub in the West India docks. |

When I went to Florida at this time I met someone from the United States line he asked me about Charlie Browns. Mormecomick lines, American flyers all from the US were often in the West India Docks. Charlie Browns was known all over the world. US lines used to come very regularly to the West India docks. |

Seamen and the dockers, would go to CBs and another pub called the Oporto Arms. Harrison seamen like myself would go to these pubs. They were rough but they were popular pubs for drinking and associating with friends. |
