These wonderful old 20th Century shipping company poster’s take us back in time to the Golden Age of Shipping, when even just watching the great
ships these companies operated sailing in and out of ports was a wonderful experience on its own, but to sail aboard them on their voyages around the
world was one of the most stimulatingly and exciting experiences anyone could ever have. All maritime film relating to that era was thought to have
been lost forever, but after 23 years of searching the world, Snowbow has managed to find and carefully restore 87% of it to its original condition, so
now you can all enjoy those special maritime experiences from the comfort of your own homes by simply watching them on the 49 x 60 min DVDs in
our Award Winning video series, The Great Liners, produced to the highest TV broadcast standards by professionals , so if you love ships, the sea or
even just nostalgia, you will really enjoy these unique programmes, all made from the rarest archive film, and we promise, you will watch them over
and over again… everyone so much better than almost anything to be seen on today’s TV.
The cost per DVD is just £18.95 UK inc P&P and for elsewhere in the world please add an extra £2. To order go to our website at: www.snowbow.
co.uk or to order by phone or for a free catalogue call us on 00 44 (0) 1273 585391. Snowbow does all this work without profit or pay, but we still
manage to have our very special offer, whereby for every two DVDs you buy you get a third one of your choice for free, which is a truly massive
saving, so come on, give yourselves a treat, a treat that will shake off all those Corona Virus Lockdown blues by taking you back in time to those
wonderful days gone by, when ships were so real, so beautiful and so specially individual… As Del Boy from Only Fools and Horses would say…”You
know it makes sense!”

THE FRAGILITY OF WORLD TRADE
T
he blocking of the Suez Canal
by the container ship Ever
Given during March resulted
in widespread coverage of
shipping and trade issues in the national
and international media, while social
media commentators speculated about
what happened to the ship and why.
One of the issues raised by the Canal’s
blockage was the sheer size of container
ships, and questions were asked
about whether such ships are too big.
However, as a considerable amount of
trade relies on ships being this large to
keep unit costs down, new boxboats are
generally only going to be getting larger.
Evergreen are in fact looking to build
even larger container ships.
But the blockage also highlighted how
fragile some of our supply chains are, and
that vessel sizes are not always matched
by the necessary infrastructure to deal
with the giant ships when something
happens. Bigger ships and the resultant
concentration of cargo has also created
the potential for ever larger losses, and
dealing with incidents involving large
ships, such as fires, groundings and
collisions, is complex and expensive.
Maybe the Ever Given stranding will be a
wake-up call for the container industry.

container ships currently in service.
