Breathtakingly beautiful and a tragic loss. I am only pleased that I was able to see her and get aboard her not many months before she was sold for scrap. That she should have survived so long in a static role only to end up in the breakers yard in a cruel twist of fate.

I need to see this ship at Manila before she is gone, she is like a floating time machine!

That's when cruise ships looked like ships, not apartment blocks! Thanks Chris for your early and continuing contributions of so many of the very good old photos now being added to the site.
