Although the author has been in the passenger shipping industry since 1960, although is now retired but having written on well over 700 Classic Liners, humble Migrant Liners and Cargo-Passengers Ships I trust these will continue to provide classic ship enthusiasts the information they are seeking, but above all a great deal of pleasure!
