Home Line’s ITALIA (ex-KUNGSHOLM) is sailing up the Hudson River to her midtown Manhattan berth. (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.

    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.

    MARCH, 2017 VOLUME XXXIV, # 3 FIRST CLASS CARGO by Bill Miller Friday, March 31, 2017 – 6:00 PM At the Community Church Assembly Room, 40 East 35th Street, Manhattan They were a unique and once very popular type of ship: the passenger-cargo liners. More than 12-berth, passenger-carrying freighters, some of these combo ships, as they were often dubbed, carried as few as 30 passengers; others, as many as 400. They offered comfortable quarters, many amenities, and one-class accommodation; but they still were not classified as actual passenger liners. Belonging to well-known ship owners such as American Export, Blue Funnel, Farrell, Grace, and Zim Lines, their final heyday began just after the Second World War, in the late 1940s, and continued until the 1960s. But in the end, as air travel and containerization took hold, they were no longer practical or profitable. One of Bill Miller's latest books is First Class Cargo, which covers many of these passenger-cargo ships. So climb aboard as we sail to the likes of Marseilles and Melbourne, Hong Kong and Durban. The cargo is loaded and the passengers are aboard! Combination passenger-cargo liners once connected the entire globe with first class passenger services. Among the best known were those of the American Export Lines, Farrell Lines and Orient Overseas Lines. (Bill Miller Collection) NEXT EVENTS: Membership meetings: April 28; May 19; June 23.
