Pilgrim's progress-report on a visit to the Holy Land by sea Last April 300 people set out from Southampton on a month's trip to the Holy Land, combining a sunshine cruise in the Mediterranean with a pilgrimage to the historic shrines of Christendom.
This report, in the voices of the pilgrims themselves, gives an account of why they went. their likes and dislikes at sea and on shore, and how they tried to relate their journey into the past to the texture of twentieth-century life.
