More websites and other stuff

[coolowl2001]

Good morning "shipmates" …

Just found some more sites which have a tiny bit more on the Onedin
Line …

http://www.thechestnut.com/onedin/onedin.htm – promises much but
delivers little 🙁

http://www.exetermemories.co.uk/EM/onedinline.html – great pix and
some background info on the series.

http://www.merseyshipping.co.uk/features/ShipsOnFilm/shipsontv.htm –
covers many movies/TV series and for the ship-buffs among us could be
a source of great interest.

Not sure if this is true but I read recently that the Charlotte
Rhodes was destroyed by fire in 1980-something … does anyone have
any definite information?

Also read that Howard Lang died in 1989.

And I've been having a real wander about the internet to see if there
are any more DVDs/Videos past Series 4 and have come up with a great
big blank.

And I did a fairly comprehensive search of surname databases and came
up with another blank. I really cannot find any entries there or in
telephone books for Onedin. Looks like it is not a surname with a
family attached. Given all the variations among surnames, it seems
amazing that someone thought up one which is unique. Does any lista
know anything definite on the surname Onedin?

Drat that we've finished watching all 4 series and wonder if we'll
live long enough to see series 5 to 8 given the great amount of time
taken to get even these out.

Have a great week 🙂

I have no definite information on the name "Onedin" as it is, but a
few years ago I was in Stockholm, and was suprised to see a building
on the quay with the word "Anedin" displayed on it. The "A" has a
small circle or ring at the top of it, and the pronunciation of such
an "A" is very similar to an "O". So "Onedin" may be the
"englishified" version of this apparently existing Scandinavian name.
A further link is that the building (or at least the display) I saw
belongs to a shipping line, see http://www.anedinlinjen.com

Hello Istvan,

I'm afraid I have to contradict your theory. In fact, it was the other
way round: The shipping line was named after the TV-series!

When the shipping line was founded, back in the seventies, "The Onedin
Line" was very popular in Sweden. In Swedish the series is called
"Onedinlinjen". Maybe the owner of the shipping company hoped some of
the series' success would also fall upon his business when he called
it "Anedinlinjen" (the pronunciation is really the same). But it
remained a small company, owning only one ship which is mostly used as
a ferry between Stockholm and Mariehamn.

To my knowledge there is no Swedish name like "onedin" or "anedin",
but possibly our Swedish members can tell us more about that. I think
that the name "onedin" actually is a creation of Cyril Abraham.

By the way, can you tell us how "The Onedin Line" is called in Hungarian?

Hi Shipmates,
Having read Istvan's email about a Swedish ferry company called
Anedinlinjen I felt I had to give you all some information.
Anedinlinjen is a ferry company which sails to Aland a small island
in the Gulf of Bothnia (the sea between Sweden and Finland). Actually
Peter Gilmore was the guest of honour when the company was
launched.250 people were invited and the company thought it would be
good publicity if they named the ferryline anedinlinjen (it's
pronounced the same as in English)
I have an old Swedish article about it in my files. According to my
article it took place in 1974, at a time when he was enormously
popular here in Sweden.
Regards
Maritha from Sweden

I see. But at least there is some connection 🙂

It is called "Onedin család", which stands for "Onedin family".

Hi Elaine and everyone else,

I have just had a look at the Exetermemories site, its brilliant, I always
find these behind the scene things fascinating.

It is a wee bit hard to believe some times that all this happened so long
ago and some of thouse wonderful people are no longer with us any more.

The picture of Howard Lang I found especially touching, its easy to believe
he's some where now still propping up the side of a ship with that grin on
his face.

Well thanks again Elaine for the link, you never know maybe down the line
more of these sorts of pictures will pop up.

Have a great day all.

Brenton.
