SS Ausonia
Farewell Ausonia!
It had already been rumoured in 2008 that this fine
ship would be decommissioned, which was such a sad
thought for she was in such a superb condition in every sense of the word, and
I personally know many who sailed on her and raved about her condition.
However, the sad fact is that she was eventually
was laid up in Greece
and was sold to Indian breakers who took her to Alang where she arrived on
March 3, 2010 where she was broken up. Farewell Ausonia, you were a wonderful
ship indeed and I am well aware that countless thousands and all ship lovers will
never forget your sheer beauty and the delights you have given so many at sea,
for you have were one of the last real ships left!
Farewell
Ausonia, you were a wonderful ship indeed and will never to be forgotten!

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!
