It's a difficult enough task trying to find rare archive film of what were the world's most celebrated passenger liners, but to find film of of the thousands of smaller, beautiful cargo liners is almost impossible! Yet again producer Des Cox has scoured the world to find this rarest of film, and again he has had it carefully restored to bring you another unique piece of maritime history. The end result is - We can see the world as it used to be aboard some of the ships that made the British Merchant Fleet the largest in the World.

Critic's report:- Old sailors are not supposed to look astern, but I found myself getting very moist-eyed watching those ships I knew so well. NZ Co. and Federals, Port boats, Rangis, Highlands, Blue Flues- an astonishing collection of film.
