We are looking forward to welcoming the Ocean Liner Society to the Community Centre for their annual Ship Show

SHIP SHOW
There will be traders in ocean liner books, models, paintings, artefacts and memorabilia gather. We haved found a new venue and the show will be at the Alton Community Centre, Amery Street, Alton, Hampshire, GU34 1HN on Saturday 16th November 2024 from 10.00 - 16.00.

Talks are an integral part of the day and we have at 11.30 Captain Martin Scott with a talk entitled ”Fire down below, the constructive total loss of MSY Wind Song in the South Pacific”
Martin enjoyed a career of 45 years in the merchant navy, 30 years as Captain and the final 12 years with Holland-America line in command of their Windstar fleet of modern sail assisted cruise vessels. Whilst in command of the MSY Wind Song on its weekly cruise around the islands of French Polynesia, late November 2001, the ship suffered an engine room fire, requiring a full evacuation, 14 miles east of the island of Raiatea. She now lies deep in the waters off Tahiti. This is her story.

The second talk will start at 13:30 and will be given by Alan Mackenzie on “My life in Canberra; it was Fun in those days!”
Alan’s career at sea began on 28th November 1976 with a posting to Canberra and continued for 26 years, serving in eight different ships. Of those, Canberra was his undoubted favourite and the vessel in which he spent the most time. Over the years his onboard function evolved from watch-keeping Radio Officer to Staff Electro-Technical Officer responsible, as he used to tell the passengers, for everything with a wire on it, from the radars to the generators and everything in between. He will talk about life aboard Canberra with amusing anecdotes, amazing photographs and technical insights.

They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old:
Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn.
At the going down of the sun and in the morning,
We will remember them.
