Ernle Bradbord has an intimate knowledge of the sea and sailing. During World War II he was continuously in sea-going ships of the Royal Navy for five years, and since 1951 he has spent a great part of his time living and sailing in the Mediterranean in boats of his own. Three times he has crossed the Atlantic under sail.

Born at Sedgeford in Norfolk, England, in 1922, he was educated at the Uppingham School, which he left at the age of eighteen to enlist in the Navy. At the war’s end he had risen to the rank of first lieutenant.

From 1946 to 1949 he participated in the founding and editorial direction of the magazine Antique Dealer and Collectors
⁹
Guide, and later worked for three years as editor of a technical magazine, Watchmaker, Jeweller and Silversmith. In January 1951 he bought his first sailing boat, “Mother Goose,” and since then has divided his time between the sea and his interest in antique jewelry. He has written a number of books and articles on each subject, and also discusses them as a regular broadcaster on the B.B.C.
