ROTTERDAM and STATENDAM in Roterdam

Another original painting by Captain Stephen J. Card onboard the new Holland America Line's flagship KONINGSDAM depicting a waterfront scene in the port of Rotterdam somewhere in the early nineteen sixties showing the ROTTERDAM of 1959 arriving and the fleetmate STATENDAM of 1957 at her Whilhelminakade berth.

Navegação de saída de Lisboa

Na tarde de 13 de Agosto de 1969 o paquete PRÍNCIPE PERFEITO, da Companhia Nacional de Navegação, entrou a barra do Tejo concluindo mais uma viagem na carreira de África. No canal da barra grande - barra Sul - o PRÍNCIPE cruzou-se com dois outros navios de passageiros a saírem do Tejo:

- O navio de passageiros e carga português ALFREDO DA SILVA, a iniciar mais uma viagem a Cabo Verde e à Guiné, elegante no seu casco branco e linhas de iate; Destaque para a visualização do costado, já sem a inscrição do nome do navio, porto de armamento e nacionalidade, que a frota da SG conservou até à década de 1960...

- O paquete holandês STATENDAM da Holland Ameria Line, na conclusão da terceira visita que nesse ano fez a Lisboa em viagens de cruzeiro.

Os navios da Holland America Line eram visitantes regulares de Lisboa em viagens de cruzeiro e tinham cores semelhantes às dos nossos paquetes da Companhia Colonial, embora com tons ligeiramente mais escuros.

Estas fotografias foram-nos enviadas por Luís Belo, então passageiro a bordo do PRÍNCIPE PERFEITO, embarcado em Luanda, que na altura da viagem tinha 5 anos de idade. As imagens foram registadas pelo seu Pai.

NEW YORK PASSENGER SHIPPING 1975

While looking into my old photographs I found that great image of passenger ships in New York. It was taken in June 1975 and sent by The Port Authority of NY & NJ from their old office at One Trade Center, New York. The address is no longer active. Neither are three of the six ships. From left to right, the Norwegian America Line SAGAFJORD is still sailing as the SAGA ROSE; the DORIC ex-SHALOM of Home Lines sunk on her way to under Pullmantur /RCCL ownership the breakers as the SUN. The Italian Line flagship MICHELANGELO was doing her very last voyages and was withdrawn that summer. After an obscure career at the Iranian Navy she was scrapped in Pakistan; the OCEANIC is still cruising under the same name, while the ROTTERDAM (1959) is being converted into an hotel ship in Germany. Her fleet mate STATENDAM was scrapped in Alang after many years of lay up and neglect in Greece...
