Abstract

Significantly, the careers booklet issued free by the British Shipping Careers Service has changed its title. The last issue was called Passport to Adventure. Now it is called To Sea in the Seventies. The fact is that the Merchant Navy can no longer attract young men on the strength of a romantic image which relates to the days of sail, or the prospect of meeting dusky beauties in tropical places. The young men are different: they can meet the dusky beauties on a package tour, and they can only go sailing in “big” ships with the Sail Training Association. The Merchant Navy is different too.
