    The & MILLERGRAM by Bill Miller billmilleratsea.com Summer 2019 The Millergram is designed and formatted by Tim Noble, our good friend from Melbourne, Australia and a former navigating officer with the Blue Star Line. AIDA CRUISES: Just in case you had to know, Aida has beat Branson’s Virgin Cruises by offering the very first tattoo parlor to hit the high seas. It is aboard the Mein Schiff 2 and already popular with mostly younger German cruisers. Virgin will go a step further – they’ll also offer a piercing salon on its new cruise liners. Page 1 ALONG THE PROMENADE: Celebrities – royalty, politicians, but especially Hollywood stars – added to the glamour, even the sheer fascination of the old liners. They were all but regulars on the liners. But photos of them are rare. Some were destroyed, others simply discarded. But here’s Rita Hayworth, arriving at Pier 86 aboard the United States. The date is 1955. Page 2 BOOKS: Happily & generously, Capt Aseem Hashmi – master of the Queen Mary 2 – has contributed a fine foreword to our new book celebrating 50 years of the QE2. The Captain is seen below, just last winter, before the re-opened QE2 out in Dubai. We had a thorough read of Union-Castle Line: The Post-War Liners, published by Ships Illustrated and written by the late Peter Newall. Wonderful photos & fine text of such great liners on the UK-Africa run such as the Edinburgh Castle, Braemar Castle, Pendennis Castle, Windsor Castle (seen below) and then the last of them (1961), the Transvaal Castle.

She was the last in a series of 5 vessels built in France for Compagnie Nationale Algerienne De Navigation. Throughout their trading life, they have ensured the export of Algerian natural gas from Arzew and Skikda ports to the clients of Sonatrach, the Algerian national oil and gas company. Montoir (France), le 14 March 2008. © Erwan Guéguéniat The 5 LNG tankers were all named after heroes of the Algerian war of independence. The Mostefa Ben Boulaïd, Larbi Ben M'hidi and Bachir Chihani built by Constructions navales et industrielles de la Méditerranée in La Seyne-sur-Mer were scrapped in Turkey in 2017 and 2018 (see "Shipbreaking" # 44, p 31 and # °48, p. 32-33), the Mourad Didouche built in Saint-Nazaire was deflagged, renamed Mourato and beached in Bangladesh in February 2019 (see "Shipbreaking" # 55 p. 41). The Ramdane Abane, the last of the series, is also the last to be scrapped.

    VOYAGES AROUND SERENDIB - VOLUME 1 Introduction We are presenting you our new publication with great pride, enthusiasm, and anticipation, by aiming to promote cruise ships tourism in Sri Lanka. Our new publication, Voyages Around Serendib, is a compilation of data on cruise ships berthed in Port of Colombo in 2018. We are extending our gratitude to all stakeholders, including cruise ship passengers, cruise lines and their local agents for making successful journeys to Sri Lanka over the years, to make this possible, today. Increasing number of cruise ships calling at Port of Colombo is illuminating the industry by making Sri Lanka one of the focal destinations. We take this opportunity to pay our respects to all who helped us to enrich this publication. An enormous amount of work has gone into the development of this publication and we believe you will see that effort reflected in this volume and in the impact it will have on the industry. We hope you will enjoy the publication. Published and Disseminated by Communication and Public Relations Division Sri Lanka Ports Authority Sri LankaVoyages Around Serendib Four ports spread across the island along with multiple smaller harbours Endless beaches, timeless ruins, welcoming people, oodles of lovable elephants, rolling surf, affordable prices, fun trains, famous tea and flavorful food make Sri Lanka irresistible. Few places have as many UNESCO World Heritage Sites (eight) packed into such a small area. Sri Lanka's 2000-plus years of culture can be discovered at ancient sites where legendary temples boast beautiful details even as they shelter in caves or perch on prominent peaks.

Mylroie Title of Study: Speleothem strontium concentrations in eogenetic carbonates Pages in Study: 267 Candidate for Degree of Master of Science Three questions were asked during this research. 1) Does the Sr content of Caribbean speleothems have a direct relationship with the age of the host rock at the time of speleothem precipitation?; 2) do older speleothems contain less Sr than younger speleothems in the same climatic setting?; and 3) will speleothems record the change in Sr concentration of eogenetic carbonates as a faster depletion in climates of higher precipitation as opposed to drier climates? The speleothems and cave rocks in this study were analyzed with various methods in an attempt to understand the rock processes that affect speleothem Sr concentrations. Evidence to support the hypothesis that younger host rock contributes higher concentrations of Sr to speleothems was found in the stalagmites of Curacao while Bahamian stalagmites indicated climatic variations.
