I'm fully aware of that, best of luck to them with launching the lifeboats from both sides of the ship if it's listing. Hull born Joseph Boxhall had the right idea. The views expressed in my posts are not necessarily mine.
Speaking of capsized ships, the German battlecruiser, SMS Derflinger, launched 1913, which fought at Jutland, was scuttled in Scapa Flow in 1918. The ship was raised in 1939 and was anchored, still capsized, off the island of Risa until 1946 prior to scrapping at Faslane in 1948. The ship gained the dubious distinction of having spent more time afloat upside down than she had the right way up
A lot of cruise ships dwarf the tui Marella so haven’t got a clue how long they take to disembark. Regarding ours though each day we got up, had breakfast and walked straight off the ship. I’ve done all sorts of holidays from Benidorm to Vegas ect and love them all but equally doing a cruise is something different which I loved. I think my daughter on a two week beech holiday with me would have been bored stiff.
White Star's liner SS Suevic was longer than anything afloat today. It's stern was in Southampton and bow in Belfast! The views expressed in my posts are not necessarily mine.
What about this for a day out, Hull. Just got back from a wonderful tour of Trinity House. What an amazing place it is. Then a couple of pints of stout in Ye Old White Harte, what's not to like? Trinity House dates back to 1457 and some of the stuff they have in there is mind blowing. A lot of it has been donated by old boys trained there over the last 650 years and comes from all four corners of the world. From the flyer, Hull Trinity House Guided Tours, It will be open on selected Mondays throughout the year, tour times 9.30 am and 13.00pm, and it takes about two hours, which flys by. Tickets £5 each, with a free booklet at the end, ticketsource.co.uk/hull-trinity-house. or ring 03336663366. I can honestly say it is the best historical tour I have ever been on and even better because it's in Hull with a wealth of local connections. So, highly recommended.
I did as well G in 1996 at the little chapel of flowers. I won a football competition in the paper with a prize of £3000, I also won two managers of the month which was £500 a time. It was a lot of money in those days and it paid for three weeks out there for us, both our parents and my sister and her boyfriend plus a party at Darleys when we got home. We managed our silver wedding anniversary together before she passed but visited America many times in between.
That's amazing jb...we,also got married at little chapel of the flowers!! May 2004!!!!,been back to Vegas many times since!!!
Love Vegas G also been many times, we always did different road trips but ended with a few nights in Vegas. Not been for many years though.
Lol....she didn't impress me tbh.... She didn't look as glam as you see her on the telly!!!!i told her i was from hull and that fell on deaf ears!!!!
I’ve been lucky enough to visit Trinity House a few times for tours etc Completely agree. If anyone gets the chance they should do it. Amazing place that we’re lucky to have. If you’re having a Hull day out then I’d also recommend the free walking tours from the museums. Really good.
