Much of September's meeting featured ships seen at Rotterdam (David Walker) |
In September we were taken on a tour of the Netherlands by David Eeles who showed photographs taken on a recent trip to Rotterdam. David travelled with our treasurer Colin Baigent, and basing themselves at the Delta Hotel they travelled as far afield as the shipyards of Delfzijl and Westerbroek, also taking in Amsterdam. In October David returned at short notice to cover our scheduled speaker who was ill. He showed a range of sketches of local ships, made in the late 1960s and early 1970s, before showing photographs of his favourite coasters taken between the 1930s and current date. Thanks David for a pair of highly entertaining evenings.
