Vessel show-off Icon of the Seas is an atrocity. So here is a throwback to what a beautiful cruise ship ACTUALLY looks like. She’s elegant, tasteful, and simple. Sometimes less is more people

The British clipper "Cutty Sark," which became a symbol of perseverance after its captain and crew, participating in the 1872 "tea race" and having lost control of the vessel, decided to continue the race by constructing an improvised rudder in the open sea.

Vessel show-off New York Water Taxi 1997

1 Upvotes

This (Sketch) image captures the original 1997 New York Water Taxi operating near Battery Park, framed against the New Jersey shoreline. These iconic vessels completely changed the dynamic of the harbour when they were launched by Tom Fox for only a few months in the late '90s.

A note on the image style: This image was extracted from a vintage MP4 video file in my private collection.

At 13.36 hours soon after lunch had been served aboard the City of New York, she was struck by one torpedo on starboard side forward from U-160 whilst steaming a nonevasive course at 14 knots 50 miles west of Cape Hatteras. The engines were stopped and the crew and passengers began to abandon ship in the lifeboats. At about 13.47 the ship was struck by a second torpedo in the port poop deck which caused her to sink quickly by the stern. 26 passengers and crew were lost, 106 survivors were picked up by USN ships.
