As a matter of interest it was illegal for crew and officers to take their own liquor on board, and that was quite stringently policed. However it would have been an expensive way of buying and taking drink on board as bonded Tobacco and drink was put on board, which crew could buy obviously not paying duty, but the skipper would control how much each crew member could have at any one time.

I think I remember that sign was mounted on the wall near "stores", it may of been illegal to take your own booze aboard but I and many others have had many bottles of Bells whisky smuggled aboard for berth parties and to keep us going till the bond was cracked open. Mid 70,s and we were allowed 6 cans twice a week once the bond was opened.
Looks like the beginning of the end of all the old buildings still down there if only to tidy the area up a little not that anything is going to get done around there in a developement sense.
Manor Properties have just released an image of the interior of the redeveloped interior of the Lord Line...
On a one to ten of developments likely to go ahead in Hull in the near future, I'd rate this as a little under a one.
Good question, it seems to have disappeared from the Radisson Blu website, though Manor claim they're still building it.
They'll have a job completing the demolition on time, it was due to be finished by first week September, it was already two months behind schedule when the demolition contractors walked off the job claiming they hadn't been paid.
Yeah exactly Its just been on Look North Manor Properties said the demolition will finish on time next month.
angus young @angus_young61 Hull City Council successfully prosecutes Lord Line Campus Ltd over failure to comply with essential works notices at the Lord Line building.
Council successfully prosecutes owners of Lord Line - 15/01/2016 Hull City Council has successfully prosecuted the owners of Lord Line Campus Ltd for failing to comply with essential Section 215 planning notices at Hull Magistrates Court today (Friday 15 January). Six notices were served in May 2014 which required urgent work to be undertaken on a number of buildings across St Andrews Quay, including the Lord Line. Councillor Daren Hale, Deputy Leader of Hull City Council, said: "We are pleased with today's outcome however if the company continue to fail to comply with the notices and the buildings continue to deteriorate, we will have no alternative but to consider our options which could include further legal action. "These buildings have suffered from years of neglect and vandalism and in order to deal with them we had to proceed with enforcement action to tackle the derelict properties which, at present, are posing an eye sore across the city's skyline. "This had led to an increase in the issuing of Section 215 notices and in the majority of cases the building owners promptly undertake the works to comply with the notice, however this hasn't occurred here, so we had to push ahead with a successful prosecution." Despite six adjourned cases the owners showed no intention of fulfilling their legal requirements. Alex Codd, City Planning Manager, said: "Legal action is always a last resort for the council as we always try to work positively and proactively with landowners across the city, however this does not always prove fruitful. "In this instance we provided the owners with more than sufficient time to ensure compliance with notices that were issued nearly two years ago." http://www.hullcc.gov.uk/portal/pag...h=Jan-16&p_page_number=1&content=pressrelease
