Premier Cruises postcard of SS The Big Red Boat II

(Authors private collection)

Although her red hull looking rather faded, internally she was in excellent condition

With the Bridge looking so spotless and well maintained it looked like she was ready to sail

Looking toward the Bridge

Aft decks and pool

Promenade deck looked like it was awaiting passengers to board, but they never came

Looking at her internal photographs whilst she was in Freeport it would

make you cry knowing that her next stop was a toxic laden beach in India

One of her excellent cabins

Now named SS Big Red, she is seen bunkering in the Azores on April 15

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!
