Scale Models / PORTO ALEGRE

« on: June 20, 2012, 09:46:20 PM »

Could someone tell which cruise is this model made by Monteleone toys (Italy)? Pic is made end 70's.

It could be based on Galileo Galilei, but it's not exactly the same. Also, I've tried to search info over the net, but no luck.

Thanks in advance.

This accident reminds me the one happened on 1971 to the SS ANTILLES wrecked off Mustique, Grenadines, in 1971. She caught fire, but hopefully passengers and crew were rescued. I read some time ago that the vessel also passed very close to the shore of this tiny island (nobody knows why, but, in fact, there are nice villas and is a common destination for famous people) and hit the rocks with her keel remaining there forever.

But cody is refering to the "wide" bulbous bow seen in several modern dredgers like this (not the ordinary ones all of us yet know):
