The cruise started in the Mediterranean with visits to Tartus in Syria, Beirut in the Lebanon, and Haifa in Israel, before transiting the Suez Canal and visiting Egypt and Aqabar in Jordan. There were a huge variety of ships to please everyone with vessels large and small, young and old, some dating back to the fifties and one on its delivery voyage. The near capacity audience identified some of the older vessels as visitors to the Thames under previous names and put a class, if not a name to some of the naval ships that were encountered. In a slight departure from Jimmy�s normal shows, this contained probably more livestock carriers than ferries! Thanks to Jimmie for coming to entertain us with his great show and lively and amusing commentary.
