Deutschland








Departing Greenock ocean terminal yesterday was Deutschland , as the name would suggest she is a German cruise ship,built in 1994 for Peter Deilmann Cruises.

The ship received a lot of indirect publicity in late July 2000 with the crash of the Concorde supersonic jet liner. All of the passengers on the ill-fated Concorde that crashed just outside Paris were on a Peter Deilmann charter on their way to New York. They had planned to embark on a cruise on the Deutschland.


These photographs are especially for the charming lady I met on Lyle Hill,who was on holiday from Wales.

What a thrill! Many thanks for your comment and I must say that I really love your beautiful photos. I am going to enjoy browsing your site and seeing the others too. I like the information you give underneath which make the photos even more interesting. I very much enjoyed meeting you and you have inspired me to start a photo blog on here too! I will send a link to your photos of the cruise ship 'Deutschland' to a couple of my German penpals as I know they will be interested. Very best wishes from Wales, Jane Thomas
