Abstract

In Chapter four, it was described how Gordonstoun’s sail training vessel, the Prince Louis, was sailed from Scotland to Wales, in August 1941, by a crew including ten Gordonstoun students. After an eventful voyage the Prince Louis was met at Conway (Wales) by Hahn and Holt. Holt was a long time supporter of Hahn and through his company, the Blue Funnel Line, had supplied the captain and other members of the crew (Brereton, 1968; Hahn, 1944). After meeting the boat, Holt had said to Hahn, that they should start a ‘Sea School’ at Aberdovey (Brereton, 1968; Hahn, 1944).
