As Second Officer with the British Antarctic Survey, Owen spent time visiting both polar regions when his particular role was as Navigation Officer; this must have presented unusual challenges. He is now better known to us on the East Coast as Deputy Harbour Master in Brightlingsea.
Date: Thursday 25th March 2021 at 13:30.
