a new look at an old report
a new look at an old report
We’re always pleased to find reports of the League’s past Cruises & Luncheons – and always delighted that all those who attended had a thoroughly enjoyable time, a custom that continues in these annual events.
One report that has come our way appeared in the May 2011 issue of the Company of Master Mariners Australia journal, The Megaphone where the Guest Speaker was Capt Murray Doyle who gave a very interesting talk on his experiences as Master of the RSV Aurora Australis. Capt Doyle AAM is the current President of the League. For the full story Click here.

Captain Charles Alfred McKinnon was born March 8, 1838 on the Isle of Tiree in the Inner Hebrides of Scotland. Joining the Scottish fishing fleet he began a career that eventually included almost every kind of sailing ship service. To read more Click Here
