When John Taylor joined the crew on board the HMS Caroline in Belfast back in 1968, he could have never imagined that the ship would be part of most of the significant events for the rest of his life.
John, originally from Birmingham, has a lifetime of tales about his time serving 29 years on the HMS Caroline - with marriages, births and even DJing at discos all reloving around the historic ship.
He is currently volunteering at the Navy museum at Alexandra Dock, preparing the WWI light cruiser for its public reopening in April.
