Holyhead had a proud tradition of signing on young people of the town to get their first experience of working at sea on one of the mail ships travelling to Ireland. Gareth Huws sat down with Ports, Past and Present and shared the story how he and a friend found first employment in the mess and the galley on one of the Holyhead mail ships. It turns out that sometimes it is a good thing to be in a mess.
Roedd traddodiad balch yng Nghaergybi o gofrestru pobl ifanc y dref i gael eu profiad cyntaf o weithio ar y môr ar un o’r llongau post a arferai deithio i Iwerddon. Bu Gareth Huws yn rhannu stori gyda Phorthladdoedd, Ddoe a Heddiw, am sut y cafodd ef a’i ffrind eu cyflogi yn yr ystafell fwyta a’r gegin ar un o longau post Caergybi.
