Is it the traditional, though large and powerful looking Oceanic?
Or the unique and distinctive Vaterland II?
Or finally the lovely and illfated Stockholm
Rich
Had the Stockholm(s) not been destroyed, there may have never been Kungsholm ('53) or she would have appeared later in the 1950s as Gripsholm did.
Vaterland II was another liner that always intrigued me. She was Germanic but w/Normandie inspired flair. A very unique looking ship!
Anyone know if this website still exists?
quote:Originally posted by H.M.S.Bonaventure:I would have to say that I like the Stockholm of 1940 as she was actually completed it was just that SAL could not take delivery of her due to WWII. I remember coming across a website that actually showed interiors of the Stockholm when she had been renamed Sabaudia by the Italian. Website also showed interiors of the Italian liners.Anyone know if this website still exists?
Yes, that would be Maurizio Eliseo's excellent website, www.transatlantici.com . It's in Italian, but on the Home Page, down on the left side, click on "archivio navi." An alphabetical list comes up, click on the letter "S", then on "Sabaudia", for 176 fine photos of STOCKHOLM--probably the most comprehensive documentation of her interiors anywhere, taken by the builder's yard at the time of her completion. I especially was intrigued by her outdoor cinema, with the projection booth located in the aft funnel.
The Statendam/Justicia 1917.
Greetings Ben.
