 MS Monarch’s beaching in Aliaga, Turkey.   the 1991-built MS Monarch has arrived at a Turkish shipbreaking yard for dismantling.

 

Thank you for the information.  I read that Sovereign, her slightly older sister, was also expected to head for the breakers.  Do you know if that has happened as of yet?

Yes, the Sovereign was beached the day after the Monarch was.

For anybody who would like to relive sailing on Monarch in her prime, check out the Bollywood movie "Dil Dhadakne Do".  Most of the movie is set on the ship, plus a number of harbor views; she looks beautiful.  The story is good, too.

If you don't speak Hindi, it's probably a good idea to acquire a copy with English subtitles!

Unfortunately, both Monarch and Sovereign are now 100% gone.  Just waiting to find out what will happen to Majesty that is currently in deep cold storage in Greece.

 

I imagine that Majesty's days are numbered.

I have items from all 3 of those ships, the Majesty, Monarch and Sovereign. The one Majesty item is a nice vintage carved wooden box with hinged lid. I also have a nice crystal block for the Monarch. Also have a nice pewter model on a stone base that looks like marble, and a Majesty metal and stone model. And a cute Majesty Bear.
