After a catastrophic fire on march 23rd, 1994 while docked in Piraeus the Epirotiki cruise ship SS Pallas Athena (ex French Line's SS Flandre) was withdrawn from service and the nearly 42 year old burnt hull of the ship was towed to Aliaga, Turkey for scrapping on Christmas Day, 1994. By 1994 only two French Line ships were remaining: The Epirotikis SS Pallas Athena (ex Flandre) and the NCL's classic Norway (ex France) which was scrapped at Alang, India after a massive boiler explosion resulting in 7 deaths in 2003. The SS Flandre was the first French Line ship bulit after World War 2. With a rich history of 40 years, 3 owners and 4 names she's also an icon of both crusing in the Carribean and the Mediterranean aswell as transatlantic crossings. Her story may hopefully be never forgotten.

This was taken on the 1st of May, 1915. This was the last photo taken on the Lusitania's last voyage.

I tried to share this before, but it didn’t post correctly on Reddit, so hopefully it does this time.

I painted this image of the SS United States a while ago, so the skyline is a bit different than it would be today. 😅

Painted by hand with acrylic back in 2000. The composition was inspired by a painting of Titanic 2 in New York Harbor published in Popular Mechanics in September 1998. No AI was used in the creation of this image.

Couldnt find much info on this picture because the pinterest and facebook post didnt say much about it

This time, gross, net, & average passengers per crossing are all included for Cunard's three express ships.

I managed to snap a pic of QM 2 from my perch at South Street Seaport today! This is from right next to the lightship Ambrose and the Wavecrest for anyone familiar with that part of the city. My first time seeing her. She’s so beautiful, even if I was like a mile away.

Day 2 here I come!

The Floating Drydock in Southampton was in use from 1924-1934. After that, the opening of the King George V Drydock and availability of the Trafalgar Drydock rendered the floating dock redundant.

Went to the "Titanic Expo" in Utrecht today. Really interesting experience. Allot of real stuff from the Titanic but also from the Olympic. Pretty cool experience would recommend it!

This is an edit I made of the British ocean liner RMS Queen Mary if y’all like it, please like the video I posted on my TikTok of the edit like favorite and etc., but I can tell you what to do. I’m not your dad, but I think you probably should.
