THIS is the first banquet to be held by the Company, formed in June of last year to give that famous breed, the Master Mariners of England, a professional organization and a corporate status'worthy of their traditions.
It was founded by an ' original Hundred' master mariners, all of whom began in the old sailing ship days as ship's boys. The Company started its career with the whole-hearted support of such people and bodies as Lloyd's, Trinity House, Earl Beatty , and the Prince of Wales, and this banquet should set the seal on its success.
