Rare Copper10-8 Posted October 6, 2020 #226 Share Posted October 6, 2020 Ok, this actually happened in different times (a landing would not happen today) by a Canadian Coast Guard / Garde Côtière Canadienne crew flying an Alouette III. This medevac took place in Queen Charlotte Strait, BC - which dam ship? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not in French Polynesia, but a port within the Pacific Ocean.... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Several bonus points if you can name the port. Ship's profile looks to be Zaandam or Volendam. As for the port, maybe an embarkation port since the lights are on.

As for an embarkation port....the ship's at anchor which would be horrible to embark upon with all that luggage 🙂 It's actually Lahaina, Maui - we departed at 11pm, so the lights stayed on until sailing. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Winner! 🙂 Westie had her Atrium Waterford "sailing ship" chandelier removed and replaced with "lighted circles" (to bring that in line with the ill-fated "Rijksmuseum at Sea" and the "Threatened Swan" also in her atrium) after her April 2017 dry-dock in Palermo, This is what her old Atrium used to look like 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rotjeknor Posted October 8, 2020 #240 Share Posted October 8, 2020 Maybe it is a “language “ thing , but why are most ( non- Dutch) people referring to the ships as “ Rotterdam, Veendam etc. “ instead of THE Rotterdam and THE Veendam . Onboard ( remember when) , when the CD makes an announcement they say , for instance, activities happening on Rotterdam today . When the captain makes his announcement he always says THE Rotterdam. Same with the name of the company, it is Holland America Line , not Holland America or , even worse, just Holland . So , I p*ssed my vinegar for today 😉 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So , I p*ssed my vinegar for today 😉 The definite article is always a bit of a problem....... rotjeknor asks " which cruise line are you sailing and which ship?" (NOT "what cruise line are you sailing and what ship?") VMax answers "I am sailing on the Holland America LIne, on the Maasdam" is the grammatically correct answer (I believe!) but conversation has become less formal in recent times, so many would respond with "we are sailing Holland America Line, on Maasdam". https://www.theguardian.com/books/2015/jan/15/definite-article-radical-decline-last-century-research 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
