Saturday April 30, 2022. MAJOR NEWS. I plan to write FIVE new chapters thanks to my chance discovery of the shipyard's in-house magazine, Bazan. "Bazan" had a short life (1957-1967) but it may provide interesting news for the years 1956-58, 1960, 1962.

Tuesday April 26, 2022. TRIVIAL IMPROVEMENT CONTINUES. I have reverted to Youtube hyperlinks for Port Cartier (Chapter 4) Sir Francis Drake TV UK opener (Chapter 14) and Antonio Machín (Chapter 16). I have perceived that the upload problem might actually be my ISP's; but this modification is good anyway.

Monday April 25, 2022. TRIVIAL IMPROVEMENT. I have reverted to Youtube hyperlinks in the first 14 chapters because the upload of some mp4 files from my own subdirectory can at times be too slow. You may need to be patient in Chapter 15, "The Movies."

Saturday April 23, 2022. YOU MAY NOT HAVE NOTICED two new hyperlinks to Youtube videos: (1) "División Azul" (English voice-over!) on the April 6, 1954, news entry; and (2) the Falangist anthem, "Cara Al Sol," (very good English subtitles!) on the November 20, 1955, news entry.
