Right..Tell us about your close encounter with the Louis St Laurent..
And while you're at it, post a new question..

We were on a little boat on a harbour tour and the skipper took us really close to show us it. We came down the port side, which was to the lee, and when we came past the stern, we caught the wind and it somewhat made for a lively trip (the ship was stationary/ very slow at the time and nothing to do with it).

Question: What is the oldest former Dover-Calais (in the same environment) still afloat anywhere in the world. (I must admit to not knowing the answer and will have to look it up anywhere)

Is this the right question?

tricky question

I hope for you Stuart that you find the answer before someone answers..

The Ferry Man · « **Reply #3830 on:** October 03, 2009, 22:17:14 »

Free Enterprise I (1962)

saltydog · « **Reply #3831 on:** October 03, 2009, 22:36:35 »

My guess is the Anthi Marina, formerly the Spirit of Free Enterprise..

Nah, FEI is far older

saltydog · « **Reply #3833 on:** October 03, 2009, 22:38:33 »

And she now sails where..?

The Ferry Man · « **Reply #3834 on:** October 03, 2009, 22:39:49 »

2006 (Autumn): Laid up in Zakynthos and advertised for sale.

And other Free Enterprise are also still going.

saltydog · « **Reply #3835 on:** October 03, 2009, 22:44:10 »

Well, if she's still floating I think you nailed it..Let's hope Stuart can give relief..

This has been a rather "vague" question all along.. I think you're right FM..

I am not sure...

It is the oldest one I could find...

Could be older ones around somewhere...

saltydog · « **Reply #3839 on:** October 03, 2009, 23:43:25 »

If there are, I would be surprised..
Kallisti (former Free Enterprise) was laid up in Heraklion in 2003..
She was a nice ship in her day..

Time for a new one..

What Dutch celebration is named after a star ship from Hollands' Glorie? Bonus; What is the location of said ship?

Now all we need is a Dover-Calais Environment to sail her on

VirtualSkipper · « **Reply #3844 on:** October 04, 2009, 14:41:57 »

Wich ship was this:

Nathan|C · « **Reply #3845 on:** October 04, 2009, 14:42:30 »

SS Norway

VirtualSkipper · « **Reply #3846 on:** October 04, 2009, 14:45:34 »

NathanC was almost right. In this picture she had the name SS Blue Lady.

What will happen with the MV Black Prince:

v.h94 · « **Reply #3848 on:** October 04, 2009, 14:50:40 »

She is sold to SAVECA and renamed OLA SMERALDA.

Haha i can atleast try on this question.

VirtualSkipper · « **Reply #3849 on:** October 04, 2009, 14:51:24 »

Sorry but thats incorrect:

She will go out of service on 16 october this year. THEN she will be property of SAVECA and she will operate as a cruiseship in the Venezuela waters. Then will be decided if she will operate as a floating hotel, or that she will be wrecked.
