copper 10-8 do you have a photo of my ss minnow ?

we had to leave her on that island and thats the last time I saw her.

SS Minnow: Are you aware that the SS Minnow was purchased and restored as recently as this September? Google SS Minnow. The following is information from Wikepedia, and there are other references to check. Maybe you can enjoy a "cruise" on what is obviously a very special boat for you.

"The S.S. Minnow, also previously known as the 'Bluejacket' now resides at Schooner Cove Marina on the east side of Vancouver Island, in Nanoose Bay B.C. After undergoing a major restoration the new owner plans to do charters and sight seeing tours with it. It is equipped with an old life preserver with "S.S. Minnow" on it and other show items".

Thank You Copper for the great pictures and histories of all these old and current ships. As many have said, this is a great thread. I am particularly interested in Post 312 and the picture of Rotterdam V as she is NOW. She sure looks good with her new coat of white paint all ready to serve as a floating hotel in Rotterdam. I have special memories of her in 1993. The last time I actually saw her, she was docked in St. Thomas as the Rembrandt. We were docked right beside her and we could look down on her decks. She looked pretty sad. But what a transformation. I hope she enjoys her new life in Rotterdam! Thank you again for the pictures and histories.

The first ship was Cunard Carinthia in 1957. She was only one year old at the time. She later became Fairland, then Fair Sea, etc. etc. etc.

Years later, November 1993, we cruised on the old Rotterdam, 16 days from Los Angeles to Newport News. A repositioning cruise through the Panama Canada. It was wonderful and we were hooked, not just on cruising, but with HAL, and we are addicted to the Panama Canal as we have done several repositioning cruises both ways since.

Carinthia, which had a long subsequent career with Sitmar Line and Princess Cruises. She was one of four sisterships built by Cunard between 1954-57:- Saxonia - Ivernia - Carinthia - Sylvania. Carinthia served with Sitmar Line between 1968-1988 as Fairland and Fairsea. Sitmar were bought by P&O Princess Cruises in 1988 and the renamed Fair Princess operated until 2001. After a short and undistinguished period as far Eastern gambling ship China Sea Discovery, she was broken up in 2005, briefly renamed Sea Discovery for the voyage to the breakers.
