WELCOME TO SHIPSPOTTING.COM
Description:
And so, I guess in the interests of profit, and sod the aesthetics, a further 2 decks were added to this once beautifully proportioned liner. Her gt rose again to 76,049, and in this form she carried on cruising until 2003, when on 25 May in Miami, she suffered an engine room explosion which claimed 7 lives with a further 12 injured, ultimately it was to claim her own life. She was towed to Lloyd Werft in Bremerhaven by the tug Smitwijs Rotterdam and after much debate about re-engining, it was finally decided to sell the vessel for scrap. She was towed from Bremerhaven ostensibly for Port Klang, by the Chinese tug De Da, but only reached Alang in India, under the name Blue Lady, and was finally beached on 15:08:2006
I last photographed her in Southampton on 20:07:1998 (almost 10 years ago) - she arrived early and I missed my shots from Dock Head (no AIS in those days), but managed to get her on the turn off 109 berth, notably without the aid of tugs.
