Local history enthusiast Alan Wenham presents a light-hearted fully illustrated talk, taking a look at how Eastbourne's expert seamen earned a living in Georgian, Victorian and more modern-day times.
It is a story of hardship and heroics, of brotherhood and bravado - and if you thought that smuggling was just a little local pastime, prepare to be surprised!
This programme was completed in November 2018 and is available on SD DVD.
