Re: Great Bitter Lakes Association
Every year, Siegfried Hellwig organises a reunion of seafarers who worked on the German ship Nordwind.
Günter Schütt kindly sent me a photo of the gathering this September in Olberg, Germany. Nordwind reunion 2018.jpg

Re: Great Bitter Lakes Association
A brand-new and excellent podcast about the Great Bitter Lake Association from 99% Invisible in the USA. This story started with American philatelist Eric Carlson, who came across a 'Cinderella stamp' from the Great Bitter Lake.
It features interviews with former seafarers who were in the Suez Canal and I'm interviewed too.
