    If it won't upload, if you are on Facebook, join Blue Stars 1993-2003 Facebook page, unless someone more tech savvy than me can correct the link.

    Doc
    Regards #4, yes that's the one. The article was written in 1963 by sandy Kinghorn for the "Ships monthly", don't know if that was a blue star only publication or not. There was a further article all about the start of containerization by the same person.
