The Crew of the Falcon

I believe it was in the late 60s that my brother Tim (before mast) sailed out of Penzance in 'The Falcon', with the crew seen here. Bound for the West Indies as the vessel was, I was shocked to see Tim near the town clocka day after leaving until I learned that the adventure had ended prematurely in a storm off Scilly, the mast having snapped. That's all I know. I recognise five of the crew in the photo but can only name my brother Tim, John Richards (furthest left) and John the Fish (seated).
John the Fish, memories of the good old folk days again, another popular personality of the time.
