Blue Lady
Photographs
taken on the Blue Lady late 2006
I received a CD containing 154 photographs taken by a dear friend of mine whilst he boarded SS Blue Lady late 2006 and I have placed those online I found to be significant. I am sure each page will sadden us all for it is hard to see this once magnificent liner in this tragic state. All images were originally in 3072 X 2304 pixels, but I have reduced them to 550 X 413 pixels in order not to overload these pages. In addition, as conditions on board were far from ideal I had to adjusted many in order to try and make them as clear as it is possible, although not always totally successful, but I have included some anyway as they need to be seen!

that NCL removed many valuable items from the

PS: Since the above I have received further photographs taken on the ship
in 2007. I have included some of these on these three pages. Again, the
photographer is very sensitive and wishes to keep his identity confidential and
has given me full ownership and copyright over these photographs.
Sadly the ship is now well on the way to being broken up and we say Au Revoir SS France, SS Norway!
