YACHT APOLLO PANAMA
[next page]
Operation and Transport Corporation Ltd., (known simply as OTC.) is a
large International business organization.
The Yacht "Apollo" is one of the private yachts owned by OTC and used for
business management and business training purposes.
OTC has found that a large yacht such as the "Apollo", ideally combines
business activities with mobility, for first-hand observation of widely
spread business interests. Add to this, the [?]omance and excitement of
sea cruises in a changing variety of pleasant ports-of-call, and you have
something of the unique atmosphere that OTC Directors have created for
their company members and their business operations.
OTC is independently financed by its own activities around the world and
in entirely non-political in nature.
Of great interest are the company's modern research activities, -
reflecting the progress-minded policy of the company.
An important contribution to the business world has been the discovery of
the exact basic steps that comprise and make for the successful
administration of any organization or business.
Recently research was done into a world famous wine industry, to ascertain
how it has survived so well and how it has continued to make, for more
than 200 years, a product of extremely high quality without loss of
technology or deterioration.
Practical training alongside skilled masters and other highly trained
specialists of the industry, was found to be the prime factor in the
preservation of the technology and the continued excellence of the
product.
Further observation revealed this exact same factor to lie behind the
successful continuation of all skilled professions passed successfully
down through the ages.

The Yacht Apollo has an illustrious history.
She was built in 1936 in Belfast, Ireland and used as a passenger ferry.
At the beginning of the Second World War she was requisitioned by the
British Royal Navy for active duty.
Her war record is a proud one.
She was used for important landing operations in Norway and the south of
France. She carried reinforcements to Iceland, disembarked troops at
Casablanca and traveled a total of 11,000 miles of North African coast, as
a transport.
As Flagship of the British Royal Navy she carried the important
personalities - Admiral Cunningham, General Sir Maitland Wilson

(Commander-in-Chief of the British Mediterrean operations), and Admiral
Tronbridge.
Admiral Cunningham said of this valiant ship: "It was of vital importance
for the victory of the Tunis Campaign."
In 1945 the ship became headquarters for "Operation Anvil", an important
war campaign.
In the final stages of the war, the Prime Minister of England, Sir Winston
Churchill, lived aboard and personally supervised the war operations while
encouraging the troops with his presence.
In 1945 the ship returned to her former peace time services.
Later she was sold and used for various cruise purposes. Then, sold again
to her present owners, Operation and Transport Corporation, Ltd., she
assumed the new and important phase of her illustrious career.
In contrast to her prominent role in the Second World War, the Apollo is
now prominent in the field of business management.
And while the Apollo space craft explore the moon in outer space, Yacht
Apollo of OTC Ltd leads the way into better and more efficient procedures
in the world of business.
