Previous instalments of Brian & Jackie’s 9-year circumnavigation have covered their exploration of rarely-visited parts of the Caribbean and their passage from Panama across the Pacific.

 

 

Now it’s time to complete the circuit back to Turkey, but that’s easier said than done!

Returning to Boaters by popular request: trinityhouse-logo

Capt William Wells will describe the history of Trinity House, one of the world’s renowned maritime organisations.

Granted a Royal Charter by Henry VIII in 1514, the House had significant power and influence on the international maritime world throughout the centuries until major political changes were forced upon it in 1988.

Finally we’ll look at the roles of Trinity House in today’s international maritime world and take a pictorial tour through the House itself.
