Annual National Seafarers Service

Watch Ashore members from London, Hull and Plymouth Branches travelled to the Annual Seafarers Service which was held in St Paul's Cathedral.
In1905 Captain Hubbard suggested that the centenary of the death of Nelson would be a fitting occasion for the inauguration of an annual seaman’s service in St Paul's and the first service was held in October of that year.
The Annual National Service for Seafarers is a great event and this year celebrated 200 years of the Royal Yacht Squadron, 150 years The Royal Alfred Seafarers' Society and 100 years of the London Nautical School. 
After the service our National Chairman, Chris Rankin, and Vice Chairman, Sue Williams, joined the London branch members onboard the HQS Wellington for a celebratory dinner.
