It must be dissapointing taking such efforts like booking a flight and then missing it just for a few hours. It was really exciting they started the first try arounf 2:00am and had to stop again. Everything looked like they wouldn´t make it again. I don´t know what was the issue. Finally at 3:00am they blew the Horn and started to pass the dock locks, playin "Time to say Goodbye" from the ship. I can tell you it was breathtaking. I was able to stand just few meters away from the ship almost able to reach her. Although it started raining several hundreds of people stayed to watch her. Hope you get a slight feeling from the pics.

I always knew it was going to be a gamble, but this is a great consolation prize. Thank you again. BTW, there is another set of photos from later in the transfer on this page. It looks like these were taken beyond the Ems flood barrier. The shipyard's press release has a few small photos as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare MVPinBoynton Posted April 5, 2004 #15 Share Posted April 5, 2004 Globaliser, Thanks for that link to the daylight river passage pictures. I was hoping to see her in the daylight. In 77 days I will be taking my own pictures of her. Can't wait.

Globaliser Posted April 5, 2004 #17 Share Posted April 5, 2004 One more link - this time with pictures taken from onboard the ship! It looks like there are only the low-res thumbnails on that page, but it's a good first glimpse at the real thing. I can't find any webcams at Eemshaven, but this page is the port's shipping information page. It looks like Jewel is going out on her first sea trial at 2100 tonight (Monday 5 April). The port seems to have her nationality wrong - she's clearly got Nassau painted on her aft end! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare MVPinBoynton Posted April 5, 2004 #18 Share Posted April 5, 2004 WOW! The inside is gorgeous. Thank you Globaliser.

Globaliser Posted April 6, 2004 #23 Share Posted April 6, 2004 Brush up your German, everyone! As you can imagine, the transfer caused a lot of press interest and comment. If you can persevere with the translation tool, there are some interesting nuggets in here, plus a few photos of varying qualities. The best nugget is at the end. Most links run through *****.com. I've tried to keep out duplications, and all these translations of titles are very approximate! Press articles etc. East Friesland looks different from deck 13 Larger version of photo Easterly wind delays transfer of the Jewel Larger version of photo Papenburg: the "Jewel of the Seas" transferred Smooth transfer of "Jewel of the Seas" Ahoy, "Jewel of the Seas"! Larger version of photo in both of the above stories East Friesland looks different from deck 13 Larger version of photo 1 (page with caption) Larger version of photo 2 (page with caption) In slow motion down the Ems Auch der sechste Pott meistert die Tücken der Ems Larger version of photo First journey of the "Jewel of the Seas" Impressions before and during the transfer (from the Papenburg tourist site) Photos on their own A newspaper's photo of the day Photo by Carsten Borrmann (complete page with credits) Another photo by Carsten Borrmann (complete page with credits) Video Page with transcript of voiceover (choose player and connection speed) Direct URL to broadband/Windows Media player version Enjoy!
