THE WIRELESS ORCHESTRA and THE WIRELESS CHORUS, conducted by JOHN ANSELL
FROM the time when the ships of Solomon sailed to Ophir, the sea has called forth the highest endeavour and the greatest valour of men of action. This programme will strive to give some glimpses of the men who braved the perils of the sea-in the ships of Solomon, in the Roman galleys in the time of Ben Hur , in little-known adventures off our own coast today, and in the whalers that hunt the biggest animal that lives.
