Monthly London Talks The Ocean Liner Society hosts a talk in Central London on the third Tuesday of every month at 7pm. This season's programme is shown below. See here for information on how to get to the talks. All currently scheduled talks will be at Alan Baxter Associates, 75 Cowcross Street, Farringdon, London EC2 Starting at 19.00hrs (all talks end by 21.00hrs)
Society Chairman Bill Mayes will present a round up of his travels in
2011, including cruises on the Grand Holiday, Ocean Pearl, Le Boréal,
Grand Mistral, Saga Pearl II, Aidabella and Costa Allegra. There may be
time to include a few of the ferry trips and yet another visit to
Istanbul. Bill’s past ‘Views from the Bridge’ have involved some
memorable excursions around exciting new vessels and nostalgic views of
the past.
Tony Cooke’s new book will be ‘Favourite British Liners’ and it will
cover eighteen of the ships which most interest him, ranging from
Aquitania to the second Mauretania, both Orianas, Canberra and Queen
Elizabeth 2. Tony describes it as “pure self-indulgence, really”, so
that bodes well for a visually sumptuous evening.
Our intrepid traveller, Matthew Sudders, takes the unusual and
challenging trips so that we don’t have to. This time there is a Baltic
flavour as Matt floats with the Finns, and rolls with the Russians
aboard the Kristina Katerina and Princess Anastasia. Will it be all a
load of Bolshoi? Come along and find out. As usual with Matt’s talks
expect some seriously amusing anecdotes.
Please put the date in your diary and keep an eye on this page.
