Royal Mail Ship RMS St Helena Featured by BBC
Published by Admin: 01/31/2010
RMS St Helena is the last dedicated Royal Mail ship and she leaves the UK for months at a time to make her way around the South Atlantic calling at Cape Town, Tristan da Cunha, St Helena and Ascension Island. It would be an understatement to say the ship is a lifeleine to British Oceanic island communities, particularly following Gordon Brown's Government decision to shelve the building of a new airport on the island of St Helena.
In an interesting article for the BBC Website, Simon Hancock is among the passengers on board RMS St Helena and samples life on the ship's namesake island.
