Slides taken during a ship visit by Albert Weller, circa April 1971:

: I was not on this particular visit. The only face I recognise is that of the little chap stooping centre right who was Sid Norris, secretary of the then newly formed Teesside Branch of the World Ship Society. Sid worked at Tyne-Tees/Dent's and I still meet him shopping in Middlesbrough .... age 90+
