AURORA arriving Cape Town

Cruise ship AURORA entering at Cape Town on 5 April 2014 photographed by my friend Ian Shiffman. I first exchanged slides with Ian in 1975 and we have been in touch all over those 39 years.
 Ian started to take photograph of ships in his native port of Cape Town in 1955 and now owns one of the largest photographic libraries in the world.

SAGA RUBY em Cape Town



O navio de cruzeiros inglês SAGA RUBY entrou em Cape Town na manhã de 5 de Abril último depois de atravessar o Atlântico Sul com escalas em Port Stanley, Ilhas Falklands e Tristão da Cunha. Trata-se da última visita do SAGA RUBY a Cape Town. O navio está a fazer o cruzeiro substituto da volta ao mundo que não se chegou a concretizar devido à avaria nas máquinas detectada em Southampton no início de Janeiro antes da largada para a viagem à volta do globo,que seria a última deste belo veterano, com retirada de serviço prevista para Janeiro de 2014.

Belas fotografias do SAGA RUBY no Cabo registadas por Ian Shiffman, um amigo de longa data. Apesar dos seus 40 anos, o SAGA RUBY mantém o seu aspecto lindíssimo, ajudado pelas cores fantásticas: a chaminé amarela, simples mas muito elegante. Pena que os dois outros navios da companhia estejam agora com chaminés azuis com um design nada marítimo, juntando a falta de imaginação e estética ao desrespeito pelas linhas elegantes dos navios SAGA SAPPHIRE e QUEST  OF ADVENTURE.

FINNMARKEN in Cape Town




Beautiful images of the Norwegian passenger ship FINNMARKEN arriving Cape Town in new cruising white colours in the morning of 13 February 2010.
It seems Hurtigruten (www.hurtigruten.com) has adopted the old tradition of repainting their passenger ships in tropical white when sent cruising, just like Bergen Line used to do with the METEOR of 1955 and also with their classic VENUS of 1931 in the final seasons, when the traditional black hull and funnels gave way to all white hulls and yellow funnels...
Photos taken and kindly shared by Ian Shiffman of Cape Town. See more of his photographs at the Table Bay Underway Shipping site here. Ian has one of the largest passenger ships photos collection in the world.

FINNMARKEN em Cape Town

Paquete norueguês FINNMARKEN fotografado a 13 de Fevereiro de 2010 a chegar ao porto da Cidade do Cabo com uma nova pintura branca.
Este navio foi construído em 2002 em Ulsteinvik, Noruega, e faz habitualmente a linha regular Bergen - Cabo Norte (www.hurtigruten.com) com partidas diárias de Bergen todas as noites. Um dos 13 navios da frota actual, que efectuam cruzeiros e outros fretamentos de forma menos regular.
Interessante esta nova pintura em contraste com as cores habituais da companhia, com casco preto e vermelho e chaminé da mesma cor. Desde 1900 que diversas companhias de navegação optam por pintar os seus navios de passageiros de branco quando os utilizam em cruzeiros, tradição seguida inicialmente pela Mala Real Inglesa e por outras grandes empresas como a Holand America Line ou a Compagnie Générale Transatlantique. Nos anos cinquenta e sessenta do século XX a Bergen Line costumava pintar de branco o seu paquete METEOR, cuja chaminé em vez de preta era amarela, tendo aplicado o mesmo critério ao VENUS de 1931 no final da carreira deste navio em 1967-68. Com o FINNMARKEN, a companhia Hurtigruten segue assim o mesmo critério.
