WSS 2017 AGM - Day 1
The first day of the 2017 AGM weekend has successfully finished - a description of the weekend so far is available here.
Branch Notes - May 2017
For our May meeting we welcomed Chris Perkins, who presented a fascinating talk entitled "A Brief History of Tankers". Taking us from the first tankers to the largest vessels ever constructed, and focussing on ships of the BP fleet, Chris showed the development of ships throughout the twentieth century and highlighted technical aspects of their design from his perspective of having worked in tankers as an electrical officer. Interleaved with many amusing tales from his time at sea, the evening was extremely enjoyable and we look forward to welcoming Chris back in the future for the next part of the story.
