Show Woman Skipper Keeps Up Family's Sailor Record BUFFALO, N. Y. Capt. Daisy M. Godfrey is the only woman in this part of the country licensed to captain cap-tain any steamship under the 600-ton 600-ton limit but she would not trade occupations for all the housewife jobs this side of the Equator. "With a family tree that is sail-ory sail-ory enough to be a marine plant, it was natural enough for me to go on the lakes," Mrs. Godfrey explained. "My father, my husband and my son have all spent their lives aboard ship and there was no reason for me to be an exception. "I took my first tug ride at the age of four months without getting seasick and after that my future j was never in doubt." Mrs. Godfrey passed her master's examinations in 1933. Before that time she worked in minor positions on various togs in the Great Lakes but, she admitted, she has never ; taken time to learn to swim. j |
