passenger shipping industry for well over 60 years, but due to his old age and
poor health, he was forced to retire. Yet, he has completed well over 1,435
Classic Liners, Passenger-Cargo Liners as well as humble converted C3 converted
Migrant Liners, which has transported countless thousands of folk to the new
world, as well on vacations’. I trust the features online will continue
to provide Classic Liner and Ship enthusiasts both the information they are
seeking, but more so provide a great deal of pleasure and relive many happy
memories!
