News and Information About the 2013 Reunion

Wellpark 35 Year Reunion 2013

The 30th Wellpark family reunion was held in LA in August 2008. It was an emotional event with the promise of a 35th reunion in 2013 in London.

This is to call all who were on the boat to a reunion to mark the beginning of a new life made possible by the Wellpark crew. All 346 rescued lives arrived in London, England on 16 October 1978 to start a new life.

So how about a big party on Saturday 19 October 2013 in London? We would like to invite Captain Hector Connell and all the Wellpark crew involved in our rescue so we can say a personal thank you to each and everyone.

Below is a link to a Facebook page for the London reunion:

Thank you for the invite and for taking the time to organise a reunion. I am very interested in meeting and thanking the crew members as I have yet to do so and am very grateful for their rescue! I think I was the youngest on the boat or and through this website, research and stories from parents I learnt the extent to how lucky we were and to survive and I was hoping for a chance to thank those that contributed in saving our lives. Hopefully this will now happen in October!

Do take a look at the facebook page, hope you will 'like' it. I am so keen for this to happen in October and glad to have your support for the event.

Look forward to meeting you.
