      The highlight of the Nautilus UK Branch Conference was a dinner in the First Class Dining Saloon onboard Brunel's SS Great Britain, a splendid historic ship once admired by Queen Victoria. It was the perfect occasion to meet up with friends old and new, bringing maritime professionals from across the industry closer together

      A three course meal gave members plenty of time to talk about the day's events and catch up with each other.

      Following many pandemic delays, it was a happy occasion when Nautilus general secretary was able to present Oisín Gray with the certificate for the 2019 Bevis Minter Award, which recognises outstanding achievement by Merchant Navy cadets in overcoming difficulties during their studies
