Bill Harvey has done a full Fleet List. Hundreds of ships! I swear, it looks that there were six or seven ships every year, back in the 70s. The big old companies were going to thee wall and J&J were still expanding and still in business today.

The work Stephen mentioned has progressed somewhat and is now a fully illustrated Company history and set-up as an A4 size book, currently around 220 pages. It is currently with a specialist maritime publisher, being scrutinised and assessed for viability as a printed book. They have stated that if it gets the green light then the earliest release, based on their current programme would be 2023. If they decline then I will PDF it and sell on a CD or USB memory stick
