MS
Skaubryn
The Woering Family sails for
New York in 1956
Images on this page were kindly provided
by Mr. Harold Woering
(Except where marked otherwise)
MS Skaubryn
about to set sail from Rotterdam
the Netherlands
bound for New York
Photographs of the departure were taken by a family
member
Harold Woering
was just 4 when he departed Rotterdam,
yet he still has some memories of his adventure across the Atlantic. He kindly provided these snapshots,
which we are sure will delight all those who have fond memories of what was a
fine and a well run little ship.
The Woering
family arrived at their destination on September
28, 1956. More on his adventure later.
The author has received
many emails of past passengers, including one passenger, Mr. Weiss, who
happened to be on her last fateful voyage when she caught fire on
March 31, 1958.
Thankfully, it was a calm day at sea and all passengers were safely evacuated,
but sadly one passenger suffered a heart attack and passed away. She sank on
April 6. We hope to have MR’ Weiss’ story and photographs on line
soon.
You can read the complete Skaubryn story on www.ssmaritime.com/Skaubryn.htm.
Soon the
gangway will be removed and the MS Skaubryn will set sail

It is good to
have a nice (be it a little cool) sunny day whilst crossing the Atlantic

Photographs on ssmaritime and associate pages are by the author or from the
author’s private collection. In addition there are
some images that have been provided by Shipping Companies and private
photographers or collectors. Credit is given to all contributors. However,
there are some photographs provided to me without details regarding the
photographer/owner concerned. I hereby invite if owners of these images would
be so kind to make them-selves known to me (my email address may be found on www.ssmaritime.com only), in order that due credit may
be given. I know what it is like, I have seen a multitude of my own photographs
on other sites, yet these individuals either refuse to provide credit or remove
them when asked, knowing full well that there is no legal comeback when it
comes to the net. However, let us show these charlatans up and do the right
thing at all times and give credit where credit is due!
This notice covers
all pages, although, and I have done my best to ensure that all photographs are
duly credited and that this notice is displaced on each page, that is, when a
page is updated!
