THIS WEEK
THURSDAY 06 JULY
U3A
Professor Roy shares his presentation about the Red Sea. As a waterway dense with history and myth, and equally dense with shipping from the time of the Pharaohs to the present, the Red Sea has held a particular fascination for everyone from archaeologists to fishermen and all who “go down to the sea in ships”, as the psalmist says.
