December
For our December meeting, Member Alan Pepper presented pictures recently scanned from his family collection.
Starting with a visit to New York to see the Statue of Liberty and the World Trade Centre in 1980, from which views of the Hudson and East Rivers were seen and where the liners DORIC and OCEANIC were identified by our experienced audience.
There followed pictures of the Solent in 1989, Thames in 1993, St Lucia, Barbados and Jamaica in 1995 to 1997 and finally cruises on the LEGEND and SPLENDOUR of the SEAS in 2000/1.
An update on last year’s presentation about the Atlantic voyages of Christopher Columbus preceded the main show.
The usual enthusiastic input from the audience made it an enjoyable evening for the presenter.
