| "Three cheers for Joe Clark. His work on this collection (over five hours of running time) has ensured a record for posterity. Featuring over 200 ships, some of which were filmed pre-war in B &W, the series runs on to favourites of the 50's and 60's. Also captured for the sake of posterity are some modern cruise ships that ply their holiday trade across the oceans of the world. An atmospheric series which will bring pleasure to the viewer. Duration times approximately 57 minutes."

Joe
Clark first went to sea as a nine year-old boy
in the newly re-conditioned RMS Orion. The voyage
to Australia took five weeks. He returned in
the same ship some five years later by which
time his love of the sea and ships was firmly
embedded.
As soon as he was able to leave school, he joined
the Orient Line as a Cadet Purser. He served
on Otranto, Orontes, Orion, Orcades, Orsova
and the Empire Orwell. He sailed on voyages
to Australia, the west coast of America, and
the Far East, as well as the occasional cruise
to the Mediterranean, Scandinavia and the Pacific
Isles.
He finished his service on Orontes as Deputy
Purser on her final voyage to the breakers yard,
a fitting if somewhat sad end.

Joe married
and has three children and nine grandchildren. He
had a successful career as a banker but fostered his
love of the sea by collecting old film of the great
liners of his time.
Now that he's retired, Joe can indulge his passion
for ships and the sea by cruising. He prefers the
smaller liners, sailing to all corners of the earth
and of course still filming his voyages to bring the
story up to date.
In 2004, Joe co-produced a three-part series of films
entitled "Crossing the Oceans".
Click here
to be taken to the dedicated website. Building on
that success he released four new DVD's on his own
- Cruising in the Twentieth Century
(Parts One to Three) and Sailing East.
His latest project is a Personal
A to Z of Ocean Liners & Cruise Ships
from the 1920’s to the Present. The series features
over 200 ships. From black and white film of pre-war
liners, through early colour film from the fifties
and sixties, ending up with today’s favourite
cruise liners, there is something for all ship enthusiasts.
With over five hours of footage - much of which has
never been published before - and an informative
commentary from Joe himself, the films will take you
on an unforgettable voyage back in time. The ships
are listed in alphabetical order and are individually
addressable from the DVD menu.
All six films are available in a single anthology
case for a special discounted price - click here
for details.
All the footage in his films was originally taken
by amateurs - often crew members - on 8mm or 16mm cine
cameras. Hence the quality is sometimes variable. Nevertheless
the films are an authentic record of how it actually
was - rather than how the shipping companies would like
to portray it in publicity films.
Joe donates £1 per film sold to the Mission
to Seafarers.

SAILING
EAST
In 1959, P&O acquired most of the remaining
shares of the Orient Line. The shipping line
was then retitled the P&O - Orient Line and
this title remained until 1966 when it reverted
to P&O.
This film covers the period of that merger using
film most of which has never been seen before.
Sailing East features footage of the following
ships: Orcades, Oronsay, Orsova, Oriana, Chitral,
Cathay, Chusan, Arcadia,
Iberia and Canberra.

CROSSING
THE OCEANS - PART THREE
Part Three celebrates the famous ships that
sailed from Europe to the New World in the years
after the Second World War. The film begins
with an extended sequence showing life on board
the Patonga, a P&O cargo vessel, on the
long voyage to Sydney. We move on then to some
classic Italian liners sailing under the famous
colours of the Costa, Italian and Sitmar lines.
The flagships of the Chandris line are next,
fondly remembered by many thousands of emigrants.
Many French, Dutch, German and Scandanavian
liners follow.
