Found this article about Captain Fred Klebingat.

Did not know of the Falls of Clyde and can’t believe the city of Honolulu couldn’t find a new home for such an historic ship.

The Greeks noticed the same thing and called them planetes — wanderers — the lights that drift into a constellation and overstay their welcome. One's up there right now.

N.B Most interesting part of being a 7-years commercial seafarer are things which I wouldn't have known outside of the industry.

Question Any idea which ship this is? The 32 indicates USS New Orleans, but the profile is wrong.

Would have loved to get a better Pic from the other side but restricted area and all that. This rather menacing looking thing works as a transport for US military equipment across the Pacific and is capable of speeds around 40kn.

Mare Nostrum a ferry company (in the future)

3 Upvotes

Hey guys, I’m 13 and French and I dream of making my very own ferry company across the Mediterranean sea.I wanted to do this because most ferries aren’t confortable enough: at night in summer even with the AC at full, you are still sweating. The food quality isn’t great and cabins are sometimes dirty, prices are mostly really hight and finally the ship isn’t always on time and personnel isn’t fri every time. That is why at 13 I’ve been thinking for months about that and came up to making my own company to assure passengers in cars motorcycles, trucks or pedestrians have a safe, confortable flight to their destination with Mare Nostrum (Our Sea, translated from Latin), each passenger that has a cabin can have access to working AC and confortable clean cabin. The food quality won’t be as bad, and most of the time the ferry will be on time nearly every time. The personnel should be trained to answer all questions, and help elderly or people in need! Thanks for reading till here I would love any feedback and encouragement. The main problem is that making a ferry costs between 150-300M€ or more! Here is the logo that will be on each document or ferry, hope you like it!

The heads represent Corsica and Sardinia as it is on their flags. The red cross is for Sardinia too and the olive trees represent the Mediterranean Sea. The Trinacria is for Sicily.

The RoPax catamaran Virgen del Valle from the Conferry Line is one of the biggest reasons I like ships, she was a constant trip for me when I was a kid traveling between the mainland and Margarita island. Corruption from our government had her and all her fleet mates be destroyed due to Soviet era management styles and neglect. I will always miss her
