Family stories
don't disappear.
They wait to
be found again.
Recently, I uncovered an old suitcase belonging to my grandfather's side of the family. Inside were photographs, documents, and pieces of a story I'd never fully understood before.
One name kept appearing. Albert Self.
My great-great-grandfather. A Royal Navy caulker stationed in British Burma in 1885. His job was to seal wooden ships by hand, hammering tarred hemp deep into the timber to keep the sea out. Every strike of the mallet helped hold back the ocean itself.
And on Christmas Day, 1885, Albert Self was lost at sea. His body was never recovered.
For 141 years, his story remained buried within our family history. Until now.
Sailors once believed swallows were a symbol of safe return. And if they perished at sea, the swallows would carry their souls safely to heaven.
