White Star

[John Gill]

I notice that Albion House in Liverpool is to be open to the public on !st March 10.00- 13.00. As most will know that was the White Star building at the time of the Titanic sinking and where Bruce Ismay, the chairman had his office. Reopening soon as a hotel.

There will be queues around the block John,I'm sure we could blag our way in if we are in the area.I see they are going to fly the White Star flag over the building when it'e finished.Is it the Queen Mary which is doing the cruise from Liverpool to New York next year?I know the bookings are flying in mainly from Liverpool they say,I suppose there will be lots of ex Cunard men having a crack at that to bring back the memories.
Regards.

Bring your discharge book Jim- even if we don't get in might just get a Pier Head Jump.

[John Gill]

Yes Jim- the Mary IS doing a cruise from the Stage next year- the first of the Big Ones to depart from there- not sure whether she will be ending her voyage there, but i understand there is a queue of Liverpools finest applying for dock gate duties at the Landing Stage.

Can PSNC boys also apply?

[John Gill]

Of course Ivan- no discrimination here.

[Jim Brady]

What was PSNC Ivan, Poxy Sailors Need'nt Come!! I dont know if it is a round trip John or fly back from NY.Trip is New York,Boston and Halifax,Nova Scotia on U.S. Independence Day,July 4th,2015,to celebrate Cunard Line 175th anniversary in the city where it was founded.I would'nt mind jumping in the plate house there John for a free trip.

Remember John she is not your Ship. You can borrow her but Southampton is still her Home Port.
