Logos Hope
Located at Belfast’s Pollock Dock, Logos Hope will be open every day from Wednesday 29th April to Tuesday 12th May 2009. Opening hours are Tuesday - Saturday 10am to 10pm and Sundays & Mondays 2pm to 10pm. Admission is free for all visitors.
Logos Hope, the world’s largest floating book fair, is making a first ever call at Belfast. Having undergone a complete multi-million pound renovation, the 12,000-ton former passenger vessel is now fulfilling a new role of bringing knowledge, help and hope to the people of the world. On board Logos Hope is a selection of 6,000 educational books that covers a range of subjects including science, sports, hobbies and religion. With children’s titles, academic texts, dictionaries, atlases, Bibles and more, there is something for all the family to choose from. The vessel is overseen by the international Christian charity Operation Mobilisation (OM), meaning that the books on board are offered at affordable prices. Logos Hope is staffed by an all-volunteer crew of 350 people - even the captain and officers receive no salary. All those serve on board as a practical expression of their Christian faith. The crew are also very international, representing over 40 different countries. Besides exploring the book fair, visitors to the ship will also have an opportunity to meet crewmembers, experience their diverse cultures and learn about the vision of bringing knowledge, help and hope. While other vessels operated by GBA Ships, Doulos and Logos II, have both called at Belfast in recent years, this visit marks the first time Logos Hope has arrived in Northern Ireland. With a much larger selection of books on offer and an all-new Visitor Experience deck, stepping on board will be truly unforgettable!
