Speaker Commodore Ian Gibb + Presidential Handover

Commodore Ian Gibb

Born of a seafaring family with Master Mariners stretching back five generations on each side, Commodore Ian Gibb has spent 43 years at sea. Half of his sea career has seen him in command of some of the largest passenger vessels afloat, including the CANBERRA and most latterly the super-liner ORIANA. During his career, he has been at the receiving end of huge technological change.

Subsequent to retirement from the sea in 1996, Commodore Gibb joined the working side of the Corporation of Trinity House of London, where he was involved with the modernisation of the Safety of Navigation around UK coastal waters.

From Cadet to Commodore – and Beyond

A fascinating account of a career spent commanding passenger liners including the Sea Princess, the Canberra and the Oriana. Now an Elder brother of the Corporation of Trinity House, Commodore Gibb tells of his varied, hugely responsible and sometimes hilarious experiences at sea.   

The evening will also include the  Presidential handover from Bruce to Llyn
