Love Boat to be scrapped
« on: March 09, 2012, 06:19:59 AM »
According to the Wikipedia article on the former Princess Cruises ship the "Pacific Princess", currently named "Pacific", has been sold to Turkish interests for scrapping. An Italian news source was quoted. A Princess Cruises blog also acknowledges that their former fleet member's sailing days are over

What a pity!
She and her sister were beautiful cruise ships that deserved to be called ships, unlike many contemporary cruise ships.

I always wanted to build a model of her.

Luckily, I was able to get a full set of general arrangement and lines plans from her builders Thyssen Nordseewerke in Emden, Germany, many years ago
where both sisters had been built as ISLAND VENTURE and SEA VENTURE before the latter started her TV career as the Love Boat.

Maybe I at last will find some time to lay keel of her model?
