Presented below are a selection of photographs from
Alex McCormac taken since the sale of the Isle of Man Steam Packet
Company by Sea Containers in Summer 2003. This collection highlights
some of the key events in the life of the company over a period of two
and a half years or so. One thing is for certain there has been much
worth recording in this short period of time. |
