Hello all,

For those interested in Albatros I have uploaded a ship file of her to my site. This time I have added a double amount of pictures of Albatros, a ship that was a real delight to photograph.

You can access the ship file (which is indicated with the word new) via the menu page.

Wow, fabulous.
You can make a link with the Barcelona call of my picture gallery too if you wish!
Can't believe the beauty is beached!
She was so sparkling in May 2003.
May she go to heaven!
God bless her.

This must be the final purging of the classics.

Great photos Onno. I have a bunch I took when I worked at Princess (Dawn Princess). I need to post some of them.

Hi Scott,

It would be nice if you could post some pictures of her Princess days as the Dawn Princess.
Albatros’s hull shows/showed many of her former origins like the P&O/Princess bow shield for instance.

In a way we are loosing a classic Cunarder (there aren’t many left of the sisters) which reminds me of a excellent book tip: The Saxonia Sisters by Clive Harvey and published by Carmania Press. It has many pictures of the sisters during different stages in their careers.

Best, Onno
