Some days when out doing other things one comes across a surprise.
When visiting the Greek Isles a surprise to see. Yes it is a Costa cruise ship, but which one?
It is the same class as Costa Pacifica, but cannot confirm. More research to be done.




This one is much easier to identify.
'Costa Pacifica' in Civitavecchia

The One That Got Me Interested In Ships

S.S. Uganda of British India Steam Navigation Company.




Leaving Sunderland bound for Oslo



Model of SS Uganda



P&O took over control of British India S.N. Co changed the decor of the ship. The Smoking Room was originally furnished in a tasteful brown leather and seating not cramped together. I shake my head seeing the garish blue.
