I'm a history fan, there's a song from the 90's Istanbul (made an earworm ) by They Might Be Giants

That is it for me today.

I was actually looking on Spotify for it. It's an earworm for sure.

I have never heard this version of Constantinople - only The Four Lads one.

That song is much older than that, Four Lads i the early 50s. I sang it as a kid and I'm nowhere near young.

Copper John, you are amazing.  Not only can you post a picture of any cruise ship that ever sailed the seas, but now you can post musical trivia songs as well.

[Copper10-8]

I had never heard of it, period, until Ill Girl mentioned it 

[Scrapnana]

Behemoth toots.

Rotterdam is supposed to be leaving now and there she is.

Rottie is moving, wish I could have made that one.

There's a pop version that I'm referring too. (I only know this version btw)

[rafinmd]

As expected, 3 rasps.  Now I care about the majority of the remaining ships.

I clicked on Copper's link to make sure it was the same earworm from my childhood. 😄

Have you ever toured her?  Nice ship and a great piece of history  Isn't she a Victory, upgrade from Liberty?.

Tug Apollo, me thinks just to get her by the Carnival and Liberty ship; wind perhaps?

 

[St Pete Cruiser]

Rotterdam looking good as she leaves Tampa.  Love to be on the open deck up front next to the gym and be able to look ahead and back.  I can't do that on the newer HAL ships.

Not that one however, we've had one here in L.A. (San Pedro), the Lane Victory,  for several years now. She goes out to sea once or twice a year and is "attacked" by "Japanese Zeros"  You're correct as usual Roy; they're Victory-class ships

Has she dropped some lines?

Who is having the bow thruster problem?

Yes. It was at the Miami Dolphins game. It flew over this morning on the way to the game. You saw it on the way back to base in Pompano Beach. 

 

Thanks, I tend to forget about Miami being in the background of PE!  That was an early game today, could have watched first half and then hit a cruise ship.

My former Coastie friend served on the USCGC Taney before she was retired. He bragged that she was already at GQ when the first Zeros zoomed in on Pearl.
