The Glacier Society - Uniting Polar Interest Around The Globe

Photos of the Mission to London

The photos below were taken aboard HMS Belfast on Sept 11, 2002. I was aboard HMS Belfast as a tourist to gain an understanding of how historic ships are presented, and their exploits described to the public. I was very fortunate to be invited to observe and participate in the promotion ceremony for a group of new Chief CPO's USN. This was an honor indeed and it was followed up with a traditional wetting down party where I did by best to recruit Glacier Society membership. Here is my report, mission accomplished, we have some members coming aboard!! This is what I call great recruiting duty. Thank you CINCLANT!!
