Our June meeting was as usual scheduled for the first Monday of the month, and although coinciding with the Jubilee celebrations attracted a dozen or so members to hear Bill Mayes excellent commentary to his very comprehensive set of slides depicting over 100 years of Italian liners. A surprising number of familiar ships were shown that started life under different flags and names but were refitted so completely as to be almost unrecognisable. This included the Stockholm that was involved in the loss of the Andrea Doria and eventually came under Italian ownership in the early nineteen nineties. Thank you Bill for taking time on a Bank Holiday to give us a very entertaining evening. |
