    MARCH, 2014 VOLUME XXXI, # 3 Friday, March 21, 2014 - 6:00 PM At the Community Church Assembly Room, 40 East 35th Street, Manhattan By Bob Allen SAGA ROSE, ex-SAGAFJORD (1965) at Olden Norway, June 5, 2009 during her 45th and final year of service. (Bob Allen) As the 100th Anniversary of the Norwegian America Line approached in early 2013, it was announced that the last survivor of the line – SAGA RUBY, ex-VISTAFJORD - was due to be retired during the first week of 2014. It was an odd coincidence that SAGA RUBY’s final season would be during the NAL centenary year. PONY Porthole Editor Bob Allen will take us on a nostalgic voyage through the history of the Norwegian America Line passenger fleet. Despite its fame and superb reputation, the entire passenger fleet consisted of just eight vessels, two of which sailed for less than five years. We will explore BERGENSFJORDS and OSLOFJORDS that were built for different generations of travellers, but shared the high standards for passenger comfort and reliability for which Norwegian America Line was renowned. We will see how the centenary was remembered in Norway, and there will be a focus on the final two ships of the fleet – SAGAFJORD and VISTAFJORD – which enjoyed long careers for Norwegian America Line, Cunard Line and Saga Cruises. Join us for an evening of tribute to a remarkable passenger ship operator on the occasion of their 100th Anniversary. NEXT EVENTS: Membership meetings on Friday, April 25; Friday, May 30; Friday, June 27 – programs TBA ADDRESS: PO Box 384, New York, NY 101085-0384 E-MAIL: [email protected] WEBSITE: www.worldshipny.com THE PORTHOLE, published by the Port of New York Branch, World Ship Society, welcomes original material for publication.

  • The S.S. North Voyageur, Which Made Many Labrador Cruises, Docked at Havre St Pierre
    CHAPTER 6 The s.s. North Voyageur, which made many Labrador cruises, docked at Havre St Pierre LABRADOR CRUISES, TRADE MISSIONS AND THE DEPRESSION Less than a decade after its founding, Clarke now had a fleet of five ships in main line service. The flagship, New Northland, cruised the Gulf of St Lawrence by summer and ran from Miami in the wintertime. The North Voyageur, Gaspesia and North Shore each offered their own distinctive summer cruise programs. And the Bras d'Or Bay Navigation Co's Sable I operated a scheduled passenger and cargo service to and from the North Shore. Meanwhile, the Depression that followed the stock market crash of October 1929 meant that industry in the Gulf of St Lawrence was stagnating. The bottom had already fallen out of the fisheries in 1926, but now business was languishing in general and showing no signs of an early recovery. Harder times were ahead. Changes in the Passenger Department In 1930, Clarke moved its Montreal passenger office from the Drummond Building to the newly opened Dominion Square Building, on the opposite corner of Peel and St Catherine Streets. The building was a $10 million project of Low, Leon & Burns, who owned Carling Breweries, and were also now using the coastal freighter Vedas to bootleg beer and whisky from Montreal to the United States. This ship was the ex-Shearwater that Clarke had once considered for its Gaspé service. That August, the Vedas was arrested by the Customs Preventive Service on Lake Erie with 15,000 cases of beer on board, allegedly bound for Winnipeg.

  • Maritime Titles Spring 2016
    Maritime Titles Spring 2016 IPG-Independent Publishers Group Operation Basalt The British Raid on Sark and Hitler's Commando Order Eric Lee Summary Operation Basalt was a raid carried out by British commandos on the island of Sark on the night of October 3-4, 1942. It was intended to reassure Channel Islanders that they had not been forgotten following their German occupation, to force the Germans to deploy resources, and to gain intelligence through German prisoners. Thought a tactical success, the raid remains mired in controversy, remembered because of Hitler’s reaction. Three days after the raid, he issued this order: "In future, all terror and sabotage troops of the British and their accomplices, who do not act like soldiers but rather like bandits, will be treated as such . and will be ruthlessly eliminated in battle, wherever they appear." Using the National Archive in Kew and the Sark Society archives, Eric Lee tells the 9780750964364 Basalt story for the first time. Did the commandos kill bound and unarmed German soldiers?
