The report says: "One of the seamen entered the chain locker and collapsed.
His/her voice has a similar lilt and timbre to that of a former Barry docker of my acquaintance who I met most weekday afternoons while delivering a copy of the Echo to the old Chain Locker pub, in Dock View Road, Barry, as a lad.
He had swarmed up a mooring rope onto the foredeck and concealed himself in the anchor chain locker in the bows.
