Speaker Steve Herra
Subject Cunard History and Glamorous Stars
Description • it is based upon the history of Cunard from 1840 until the present day and includes some of the more famous liners but not all as there were nearly 250! • He also talks about some of the celebrities and stars who sailed aboard Cunard ships. • What did Charles Dickens think about the furnishings aboard Britannia? • Which actress brought her gleaming white Rolls Royce on board Queen Mary and her own chickens as she demanded fresh eggs each day? • When at a New York function, what was the reply to the lady who described Elizabeth Taylor’s very large diamond ring as vulgar? He is third generation of Cunard seafarer, his last ship was QE2 where he was one of the Pursers and met some of the stars featured in his talk. On leaving Cunard he served in the Royal Naval Reserve and more recently conducted tours of Cunard and P&O ships whilst they were in Southampton, sadly because of covid these don't happen anymore.

Description Hear about the company that holds the dubious honour of being in receivership the longest. Discover how the Weston, Clevedon and Portishead Light |railway Company accomplished this feat. Let me take you down the line of fragile optimism upon which the enterprise was promoted and the desperate measures taken to survive, and survive it did for 43 years. Along the way, I'll introduce you to Colonel Stephens, undisputed king of Britain's small and quirky railways.
