Following the success of the 2011 Ocean Liner Society trip on the magnificent steam launch Alaska, we will charter her again for a 4 hour afternoon cruise from Marlow at 1pm on 29th September 2012. Marlow is rail connected and we will explore a different section of the River Thames. Alaska operates few public sailings and so this is a rare opportunity to travel on this historic vessel, which is powered by her original steam engine and has been restored to museum condition. She was chosen to carry HM The Queen when she attended the swan upping ceremony on the Thames in 2010 (see image below). Alaska will appear in the Queen's Jubilee Pageant on June 2nd.

Ticket numbers are limited to provide plenty of space to move around and will be sold on a first-come first-served basis. They are available to OLS members and their friends at £50 per person by sending a cheque payable to the Ocean Liner Society to:- Peter Godliman, 41 Burnham Lane, Slough SL1 6LH (NOT to Mayes House). Please provide an email address.
