  • Hi my family spent summer holiday on the Indian Renown in 1963 we traveled from Liverpool to Tilbury to Antwerp to Rotterdam. The whole thing was paid for by the Indian Steamship company. My dad was the master mariner (captain) of the Ship. I was 12 and it was the most brilliant childhood experience.
