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.

Branch Notes - April 2017

For our April meeting, our branch treasurer, Colin Baigent entertained a good turn-out of members with a show in two parts, firstly we previewed a selection of the past maritime happenings on the River Exe, now closed to commercial shipping. This was followed by an illustrated talk on Colin’s recent journeys to the Hong Kong area. A very entertaining evening glimpsing both elements of our recent local past and the wider Oriental World stage.
