Nautilus members who are past and present students of the School of Navigation (or one of its Warsash colleges) may be interested to know that the Warsash Association will be holding its annual Christmas Gathering at the Royal Maritime Hotel, Portsmouth, on 9 December 2023. All are most welcome to attend this informal lunchtime gathering, which will be a great opportunity to catch up with old friends and colleagues.
Please register your intent to attend with Roger Holt by email.
We look forward to seeing you there.
Captain Bob Oliver

It’s never right to attack civilian seafarers
I was saddened to see the footage of the attack by Ukraine on the two tankers in the Black Sea on 29 November. My heart goes out to the crew and officers who are, in my mind, not combatants in the Russia/Ukraine war.
