I am well aware that
photographs on this page tell a depressing story of the final days of a superb British
steamship. However, I have placed them online, for I believe that it will bring
some closure, especially after our long battle to save her. I wish to thank
both Mr Ian Prichard and Craig Harbers for their
excellent photographs.
Photograph 1 was taken late March, just after the OceanBreeze had
been winched up onto the beach. She was being made ready for demolition.

Photograph 2 was taken on April 9, when Mr. Prichard and his brother visited Chittagong to document the final days of
OceanBreeze. During their visit, they managed to board the aft section of the
ship, obviously being confronted with as sad sight of what was once a
magnificent ship.

Photograph 3 was also taken on April 9, by Mr. Craig Harbers, who travelled
with Mr Prichard to Chittagong.
This photo gives a wider view of the ship and the breakers yard. Note the men
in and near the shed bottom right.

Photograph 4 This sad view was taken onboard OceanBreeze, from an
upper hallway looking forward. The funnel on the beach is not from OceanBreeze
as her funnel was painted dark blue and had no white bands, see photo 1. By now
(06 May), there will be little left of her. Omega Replica Watches

not die as a rusted hulk, but as a clean cut, fresh looking vessel. The
Southern Cross finished her career going to her end as a lady!” … Michael Barnes, part of the

on ssmaritime and
associate pages are by the author or from the author’s private
collection. In addition there are some images
that have been provided by Shipping Companies and private photographers or
collectors. Credit is given to all contributors. However,
there are some
photographs provided to me without details regarding the photographer/owner
concerned. I hereby invite if owners of these images would be so kind to make
them-selves known to me (my email address may be found on www.ssmaritime.com only), in order that due credit may be given. I
know what it is like, I have seen a multitude of my own photographs on other
sites, yet these individuals either refuse to provide credit or remove them
when asked, knowing full well that there is no legal comeback when it comes to
the net. However, let us show these charlatans up and do the right thing at all
times and give credit where credit is due!
This
notice covers all pages, although, and I have done my best to ensure that all
photographs are duly credited and that this notice is displaced on each page,
that is, when a page is updated!
