Branch Notes - May 2018
We were very pleased to welcome Ian Wells with his ‘London Shipping 1972 – Part1’ presentation at our May meeting. It was nostalgia aplenty as we saw excellent pictures of ships at the Royal Docks in London. There were views of some of the ancillary vessels as well. No high visibility jackets in view and containers were not talked about until the last shot. This was the beginning of the end for conventional ships and British liner companies who had dominated traditional cargo handling routes for many years. This was the last meeting of the season and we will be back in September.
