Meeting Report September 2002
Peter Ives and his �wife to be� Christine brought along their latest slide talk to entertain us at our September meeting. Peter has visited us on a regular basis for the past few years now giving us very diverse programmes of ships shipping lines and ports.
This year we saw the fruits of his recent trip to Sarawak. Not the regular Far East ship-spotting destination you might think, but this country, sharing Borneo Island, literally teems with shipping large and small. The basis of the show was a voyage up the Rejang River to Sibu. Not every vessel was traceable in Lloyd�s, but this added to the appeal. Miles of the riverbanks are taken up with forestry and sawmills. Fishing is a big industry and shipbuilding and ship breaking yards are numerous. Peter�s great enthusiasm for his subject is very infectious and we look forward to a return visit.
