As part of the celebration of the next Nieuw Amsterdam, Holland America has uploaded a electronic reprint of the booklet celebrated the maiden voyage of the 1938 Nieuw Amsterdam.

For some reason, John, the booklet just wouldn't load on my machine. Does it require a special format to read or is it something which just takes awhile to download on dial up?

 

[John DeLoache]

It may require a certain program. Try opening it from the Holland America site.

Thanks John, but for some reason, my computer and theirs just aren't getting along.

Nieuw Amsterdam in Dry Dock

quote:

Here are a few pictures of Nieuw Amsterdam in dry dock in Trieste. Between the two phases of the sea trails the ship enters dry dock for a complete paint of the ships hull.

At first, I had to wonder why since the first photo was of a pristine coating, then I realized it was the new coating over the old when I saw the rest of the photos.

Nice shots of the sea trials. Brings back a few memories for me, although not on as comfortable a ship!

Nice unexpected shower that bloke found himself getting! Now I wonder where the dog is who left those tracks on the deck!

 

[Joe Russo]

Do cats or dogs ever stowaway on ships? Do crew ever end up keeping them onboard or is this forbidden?

 

[Michael H. Standart]

>>Do cats or dogs ever stowaway on ships?<<

That or they're smuggled aboard. No harm no foul if they're not going anywhere but these days, there are a lot of legal snags to keeping pets on board ships. Even mascots.
