CUNARD PRINCESS... The End

[Peter Kohler]

Today, the former CUNARD PRINCESS was beached at Aliaga, Turkey for scrapping after two years laid up in Greece.

Here are two excellent photos of her whilst serving as a rest and recreation ship off Saudi Arabia for coalition forces during Desert Storm, taken 27 Feb 1991, from the U.S. National Archives collection.

The second photo, it is a good job she was not in US waters that amount of smoke emissions would have cost a few quid in fines. They are scrapping cruise ships at some rate these day.

I was there during Desert Storm as a Purser working with AAFES - US Army & Air Force Exchange Service as Chief Cashier/Accountant. I spent five years on board Cunard Princess 1987-1991.
