TORN CASTLE – THE LIFE AND TIMES OF THE UNION-CASTLE LINE FLAGSHIP RMS WINDSOR CASTLE ***ENCORE SHOWING***
Presented by Peter Knego
June 12, 2021 @ 1:00 pm - 2:30 pm
At our May meeting, the PONY Branch welcomed Peter Knego via Zoom from California. Peter presented “Torn Castle,” the title feature on his latest DVD that documents the life and times of the Union-Castle Line flagship, the 1960-built RMS WINDSOR CASTLE. The hour-long documentary includes vintage footage of her building, launch, maiden voyage and final departure from Cape Town, South Africa, interwoven with Peter’s rare footage of the laid-up ship in Greece as the MARGARITA L. It concludes with a visit to her on the beach in India, where the viewer literally walks through the ship with Peter during the demolition process.
