VINTAGE PASSENGER SHIP ROUNDUP by Peter Knego

(as first reviewed in SHIPS MONTHLY magazine between August 1999 and March 2000)

The collection of passenger vessels still afloat that are at least 2,000 gross tons and 30 years old is rather significant at this time, however, many of these ships are in a limbo state with strict SOLAS regulations in effect, the potential for a world-wide increase in fuel prices, and a rebounding scrap market. Private yachts and ferries are included if they served at some point as cruise vessels, passenger liners, missionary, or training ships.
