Charles Davis writes \”This Story from dispatch.co.za on the world\’s largest floating library, the Doulos, that returned to East London for a stay of almost two weeks.
The Doulos, crewed entirely by volunteers, is
one of the oldest vessels still sailing the seas.
At 88 years, the ship is two years younger
than the Titanic.
The ship will be officially opened to the public
tomorrow by Eastern Cape Premier Makhenkesi
Stofile, Doulos information officer Ben Wyatt
said.
East London is the first port on the ship\’s
2002 tour of South African ports.
This is the Doulos\’ fourth visit to East London,
where it was last in 1998.
The vessel boasts a library of more than 6000
books \”
