Captain Ben Chaplin
Posted: Sun Sep 11, 2016 9:40pm
Hi, wondering whether anyone has any recollections of Ben Chaplin who ran the former Royal Standard pub in Cowes from 1957 until he died c. 1962? Prior to moving to the IOW he was a Councillor in Netley Abbey. He was an accomplished sailor and master mariner I believe. His father before him was a celebrated yacht captain in the early 1900's. Would be great to hear from anyone who recalls him or who knows of surviving friends & family
Many thanks
Colin
