SUMMARY:Rescheduled Program:  THE LINERS AND CRUISE SHIPS OF SCANDINAVIAPresented by Captain Albert Schoonderbeek
DESCRIPTION:Scandinavian Liners are the ships that sailed from Norway\, Sweden and Denmark. These small countries were traditionally seafaring nations\, and extensive fleets were built to connect their populations to the rest of the world. From the 1860’s onward\, Scandinavian liners sailed the world’s oceans and continued to do so until the decline of the transatlantic passenger ships in the early jet age. Many lingered on as cruise ships during the next few decades. The tremendous growth of the cruise industry in the 1960’s through the 1980’s was largely due to Scandinavian maritime enterprise. Norwegian-based companies Royal Caribbean International\, Norwegian Cruise Line\, Royal Viking Line and others led the way in the early years of the modern cruise business. Captain Albert Schoonderbeek\, current Fleet Master for Holland America Line\, will cover this entire period\, from the early Thingvalla Line to latest “Apartment of the Seas.” \n(Photo: Captain Albert Schoonderbeek collection)

SUMMARY:THE CRUISE OF THE BOU EL MOGDADPresented by Tom Rinaldi
DESCRIPTION:In Senegal\, West Africa\, one of the world’s most interesting cruise vessels lies hidden in plain sight: built in 1950 to carry passengers\, freight and mail on overnight voyages up and down the Senegal River\, the BOU EL MOGDAD today makes weekly trips following more or less the same route she sailed 70 years ago. Based at the old colonial capital of Saint-Louis (now a UNESCO World Heritage City)\, the BOU winds her way upriver along Senegal’s border with Mauritania\, stopping at old colonial trading posts where she’s been a familiar sight for generations. Nearly scrapped when reliable highways opened parallel to the river in the 1970s\, the BOU instead became the subject of a quixotic and unlikely conversion to luxury cruise vessel. The conversion proved a hit\, and despite overwhelming odds the BOU is still sailing today\, now back in action following a period of uncertainty during the pandemic. At our first in-person membership meeting since February 2020\, PONY Branch member Tom Rinaldi will take us along for one of the BOU’s recent voyages on a trip through time well worth the wait. \nFor those unable to attend the meeting in-person\, Tom’s presentation will be live-streamed via Zoom. (A recording of the program will also be presented via Zoom at a later date.) \nIn accordance with New York City and National Opera Center protocols\, mask wearing will be optional for those attending this event in-person. \n(Photo courtesy of Tom Rinaldi)
