Very very interesting work of documentation !!!!!!!
interessant
Thanks for all the photos! Good shot inside the museum, despite the glare from all the ceiling lights. What a lot of work constructing a ship like this, and then scrapping it after only 29 years of service! On the other hand, combined passenger - freight ships didn't make much of a profit, so I assume getting the price for her as scrap metal was more lucrative (sadly). More ship photos, if you have them! :-)
Fabulous bit of history with the model and photos.
whenever I visit the coast of Louisiana there are always ships being dismantled for scrap. other are sank out at sea for sea life to make a home in after all the pollutants are removed.
great capture and information
A fine freighter. Love the skill of the model builders.
A really super shot of this beautiful ship. Many fine shots too, when I scrolled down :)
