M S AUGUSTUS OF ITALIAN LINE

the MS AUGUSTUS seen above was built in Italy in 1952 by CANTIERI RIUNITI DEL ADRIATICO for the European to South American service with ITALIAN LINE, she was sold to Hong-Kong in 1976, since then she had different names and ports of registry, she was used by Manila Hotel as floating hotel and restaurant under the name PHILIPPINES, today the hotel operations have ceased but the ship is reported to sail short cruises every now and then and receive visitors. The ship has been sold to scrap and arrived Alang in Augusthttp://vmf-cruiseshipsandliners.blogspot.com
the AUGUSTUS had a sister, the GIULIO CESARE seen here, she was scrapped in 1973 in Italy, I have been aboard the AUGUSTUS a few times but never seen the GIULIO CESARE

    Mis hijos era muy pequeños,uno de pecho aún y se seguían,qué tiempo y qué maravilla!!!
