Logos Hope
Last updated: 14 March 2010
In this week's "All Things Considered" (Sunday 14 March at 8.30am, repeated on Wednesday 17 March at 6.30pm) there's another chance to hear Roy Jenkins' visit to the world's largest floating bookshop. The 12,500 tonne vessel Logos Hope attracted thousands of visitors to Cardiff Bay last summer with a wide range of events.
Until a few years ago, she was a car ferry, plying between the Faroe Islands, the Shetlands and various Scandinavian ports. Now with a crew of 280 - from 50 different countries - all of them unpaid volunteers - she's a key tool in the work of the Christian mission organisation Operation Mobilisation.
Roy takes a whistle-stop tour of the ship to hear about its work and meets some of the families and crew to discover what life is like on board.
