Past President and Incoming President Elect 2020-21, Ian Pocock; Ian has been a Rotarian for many years and this year has agreed to 'go the rounds again', and accept the position of President once again. Ian is working on the theory, that the second time around you can achieve a great deal more, because you know all the 'ropes' and can 'pull all the strings' and 'call in all those favours', so Club Members are looking forward to an eventful 'Ian's Year'. 6 July 2020, Ian starts his year by presenting himself to all. Welcome back to the President's position Ian! |

‘The Sinking and Salvage of Costa Concordia’
Aug 17, 2020 12:30 pm
Noel Phelan's first career was as a science and mathematics teacher. He then moved into IT with IBM where he spent 25 years in various technical and management positions. He has been a volunteer guide at the Maritime Museum for several years and enjoys showing visitors over HMAS Vampire, HMAS Advance, HMAS Onslow and First Lady. Noel is also the team leader for the museum speakers. The Costa Concordia sank on the 13th January 2012 one hundred years after the TITANIC sank and in similar circumstances. The ship had 3,229 passengers and a crew of 1,023. The captain of the ship was Francesco Schettino. He diverted the ship from its normal course to do a “salute” to a friend on Giglio Island. At around 9 pm he took control of the ship and it hit a rock which tore a 53 metre gash in the port side. Captain Schettino was in shock after striking the rock and failed to take command of the situation and organize for the passengers to abandon ship. There had been no lifeboat drill so the passengers and crew had to fend for themselves. It took over 6 hours to get everyone off the ship. Come along and hear what really happened and the chain of events that led to this disaster and the salvaging of the ship that took years and 2 billion dollars. The ship cost $900 million to build.
