Hellenic Line ships were no strangers to us, as they used to run regular services from London and the Thames. Alan has chronicled the line�s fifty-year history from his thorough researches and from a varied selection of projected photographs. All but a few photographs of the ships owned by the company had been tracked down from a range of sources. The evening was completed with the showing of some of the ships chartered by the line during its years of operation. Thank you Alan for crossing the �water� and sharing your show with us, and we wish you good luck with the subsequent book.
