Reading that the cruise ship 'Seven Seas Navigator' was at the Port of Tyne and due to sail 1700 hours.
Arrived at the mouth of the Tyne at South Shields just turned 1600 hours armed with camera etc.. Seven Seas Navigator was on the horizon. She sailed at 1500 hours.

Last year I travelled to Panama City and spent the day watching the ships waiting to enter the Panama Canal. Fantastic!

Hi Allan The the problem of cruising to northern ports from Southampton, they have to either go east or west then up the coast of Britain. As Reykyavik is west of Britain, the captain was going the right way. Anyway, the passengers had a great time naming the Scottish islands as they passed them.

Shipping News and information / Park West Galleries
« on: May 17, 2010, 08:54:54 PM »
Park West have been found guilty for selling worthless art for thousands of dollars aboard cruiseships.
In a Michigan court, the jury ruled unanimously in favour of the Fine Art Registry in a lawsuit brought against them by Park West Galleries.
The Fine Art Registry (FAR) had accused Park West of supplying the onboard art auctions with fake Salvador Dali prints to be auctioned off for thousands, when they were worth only a few pence.
The judge did not award any damages, but he did order Park West to pay Fine Art Registry $500,000 for trademark infringement saying Park West had illegally used FAR's trademark in sponsored links in search engines.
Park West was apparently trying to steer searchers away from the negative reports about the Gallery on the FAR web sites, including a special site devoted solely to Park West called SalvadorDaliFakes.com.
The website shows the whole history of a huge collection of supposed Dali Prints that Park West says it acquired and authenticated as true Salvador Dali artwork.
However, the Fine Art Registry's web site not only showed how the pieces in question were denounced as forgeries many times over, but it also showed the many ways in which the Park West had endeavored to circumvent the legal process by hiring their own experts and writing their own appraisals.
The conclusion drawn was that Park West cruise ship art auctions were fraudulent and sales were not handled according U.S. Statutes guidelines.
Thankfully my wife would not let me buy any pictures!!!

Hi Karim I understand that Barfleur was taken out of service and laid up at Ouistreham, near Caen, on 31st January. She was replaced by their newest vessel Armorique.
As for being sold - I haven't heard yet; but for the record, Brittany Ferries don't hang on to their ships once they have been replaced by others.
