About Gordon Gray

A love of ships from a very early age saw Gordon embark on a series of voyages as a schoolboy including a voyage to Iceland on a trawler and taking part in a Tall Ships Race. These led him to join the Royal Navy on a Short Service Commission where he served in a number of ships in many parts of the world. Over the last few years he and his wife Doreen have undertaken expedition voyages to both Polar Regions in ships as diverse as icebreakers ex Russian research vessels and cruise liners. Gordon and Doreen now live in Fife on the Firth of Forth.
