They were the smaller, yet equally graceful
ships of the sea, that carried millions of
passengers and crews to the most distant
corners of the world - in a style and pace that
sadly, will never return.
It's a difficult enough task trying to find
rare archive film of what were the world's
most celebrated passenger liners, but
to find film of the 1,000's of smaller,
beautiful cargo liners is almost impossible!
With a combination of sheer tenacity and
dedication, Producer Des Cox has scoured
the world to find this rarest of film. Once
again he has had it carefully restored
and spent 100's of hours dubbing and
editing it into what is a truly unique 58
minute video. The end result is: You can
almost feel the movement of the sea,
taste the salt, smell the ship's paint and
engine room fumes, as we circumnavigate
the world from East to West and West to
East from such famous ports as London
and Liverpool. We see the world as it
used to be during the days when the
British Merchant Fleet was the largest in
the World; through force 12 Atlantic
storms - into seas and ports full of those
magnificent ships all going lovingly
about their business.
