Reunion Photos
At last, you can see photos of the SAL reunion in Göteborg, May 2002. |
| During Midsummer of 1937, Drottningholm, Gripsholm, and Kungsholm, were all docked in Göteborg, a unique event. The photo shows the three captains at that time, Sigfrid Ericsson, Helge Ellsén, and Melcher Renström. |

A message from the Captain on the cover page:
As this is the last issue for this cruise season,
Chief Purser Poul V. Lange died in Göteborg during the autumn of 1999.
A newsletter by the crew, for the crew.
I want to thank everyone for the great work you have done...
When we leave New York on June 7th, it will be an
(extra-)ordinary Atlantic sailing.
Homeward bound! And remember,
our motto still is: Gripsholm's service. Service with a smile!
