| All that I can do is echo the "wow" that is being exclaimed by everyone else. Fabulous to see such a great shot of this fascinating ship. What wouldn't we give for an opportunity to sail on her now?? |

| This really is an amazing shot, haven't seen that many good pics of her as CARIBIA. She must have stood out as a bit of relic even back then. A very nice relic though! |

| Sorry I missed a detail. The year that I had seen her in action at sea was summer 1960. |

I saw her ( then being the original VULCANIA ) passing us on route from Otrant to Trieste ( Adriatic Sea ).
She had also a very good "racing" speed; passed us and vanished! |
