The two areas will be presented separately and at the end they will be linked for analyses and conclusion with the help of graphs, charts and surveys. Puerto Rico, Curacao, Jamaica, and Barbados are the Caribbean islands chosen for this project. Within the cruise lines section, the paper will review the history of the industry, the reasons behind today's great success, and possible outlooks for the future.

  • September, 2013 Volume Xxx, # 8
    SEPTEMBER, 2013 VOLUME XXX, # 8 Friday, September 27 - 6:00 PM At the Community Church Assembly Room, 40 East 35th Street, Manhattan A Norwegian Coastal Voyage aboard m.s. LOFOTEN By Greg Fitzgerald Hurtigruten's LOFOTEN of 1964 is a final link to traditional coastal steamers along the Norwegian coast. Running in regular service on an 11-day round-trip run from Bergen, across the Arctic Circle, and up to Kirkenes in the far north of Norway, the little LOFOTEN shares this route with her larger and more modern Hurtigruten fleetmates. However, a voyage on LOFOTEN is something far beyond the experience of the modern Hurtigruten ships. It is a voyage to another time, on a ship which boasts many of the same features whose loss ship lovers have lamented as the last classic ocean liners went to the breakers in recent years. As LOFOTEN never leaves Norwegian waters in passenger service, she is not subject to the same SOLAS restrictions that international ships are; thus, she is filled with rich woods, gorgeous traditional artwork, and a cozy atmosphere. Branch Secretary Greg Fitzgerald will take us along on this 6-day journey, which he took in April 2013, and share what makes LOFOTEN so special to her enamored fans. He will share photos of the ship among the stunning Norwegian scenery, and describe the special atmosphere onboard and the stops along the historic coastal express route. Hurtigruten’s LOFOTEN at dockside in Rorvik, Norway. (Greg Fitzgerald) The 1964-built LOFOTEN, a veteran of the Norwegian coastal route for almost 50 years.

(Port Authority of NY & NJ and HAL) THE PORT OF NEW YORK - WATERFRONT REVOLUTION by Ted Scull 1965, the year our PONY Branch was established, produced a bumper crop of outstanding new ships - Home Lines’ OCEANIC in April, Italian Line’s MICHELANGELO in May and RAFFAELLO in August, and Norwegian America’s SAGAFJORD in October. It was also the first full year that our speaker, Ted Scull, worked at Pier 40, the new North American headquarters for Holland America Line. Pier 40 was not a typical finger pier, rather a square facility with a donut hole in the center for handling freight and passengers. It was designed to save longshoremen jobs on the Manhattan waterfront. At the time, freight traffic was robust, and bookings were good for the passenger ships. But parallel revolutions in shipping were already underway, and sooner than anyone imagined. Containerization would almost completely transform the way cargo would be handled and doom New York’s commercial waterfront in favor of the vast acreage available in New Jersey.

  • Union-Castle Purserette by Ann Haynes
    June 2021 VOLUME XXXVIII, # VI Friday, June 25, 2021 – VIA ZOOM at 6:00 PM UNION-CASTLE PURSERETTE BY ANN HAYNES For our June meeting, Ann Haynes will share how she came to join the famous Union-Castle Mail Steamship Company as a Purserette at sea. According to Ann, “The lavender-hulled Mail ships sailed from the English port of Southampton on a regular weekly liner service to South Africa, carrying passengers and cargo, and the first Mail ship I joined was TRANSVAAL CASTLE. It was hard work during the six-week voyage, but never dull. Over the years I served on other Union-Castle Line Mail ships such as the CAPETOWN CASTLE and the EDINBURGH CASTLE, and went to unexpected ports, including Ascension Island and St. Helena in the South Atlantic Ocean, as well as Cape Town and other ports in South Africa.” Ann will share many pictures of the life she led and the uniforms she wore, and talk about her duties on board, including typing numerous passenger lists at every port, taking part in the Crossing the Line (Equator) ceremony, and helping to run passenger entertainments on board, as she sailed to and from South Africa. Ann wrote home regularly to her parents and took lots of pictures, which became the basis for her book, “Union-Castle Line Purserette.” She is always happy to share with others the memories and pictures of her interesting and enjoyable life.

  • Evolución Y Desarrollo De La Industria Del Crucero Pág
    1. - EVOLUCION Y DESARROLLO DE LA INDUSTRIA DEL CRUCERO 1.1. -Antecedentes históricos. La extendida idea de que la industria del crucero es de moderna concepción es, cuando menos, equivocada. Existen evidencias que demuestran que ya en 1845 había ofertas de viajes de crucero. No es menos cierto que el crucero no tenía ni la importancia ni el concepto popular que hoy impera en la industria. En aquella época era propio de una élite de privilegiados de poder económico muy alto. De la publicación “Cruise Ships” (Middlermiss 1997) traducimos una carta de propaganda de cruceros aparecida en 1845 en el Leipziger Illustriete Zeitung de Hamburgo, que puede considerarse como la primera propaganda conocida de un crucero de lujo. Se muestra la traducción libre castellano del idioma inglés de la carta original. Quote Se ofrece una oportunidad a aquellos viajeros que lo deseen para tomar parte en un crucero alrededor del mundo. El abajo firmante, naviero de Hamburgo, propone organizar y equipar un crucero con este fin en uno de sus buques para iniciarl el viaje el próximo verano. Durante este crucero los pasajeros podrán visitar las siguientes ciudades y países: Lisboa, Madeira, Tenerife, islas de Cabo Verde, Río de Janeiro, Río de la Plata, islas Fackland, Valparaíso y puertos de la costa sur del Pacífico y América del Sur, así como Guayaquil, islas Marquesas, y otros grupos de islas en el Océano Pacífico. También se visitará Choosan en China, Hongkong, Cantón, Manila, Singapore, Ceylan, Madagascar, Cabo de Buena Esperanza, isla de Santa Elena, islas Ascensión, Azores y regreso a Hamburgo.
