Aquarama scrapping in hi-res
In my last post on the Aquarama/Marine Star, I had lifted two still photos of the ship being scrapped from a YouTube video. Peter Hartung, creator of the video, was kind enough to send me the hi-res versions.
All photos are courtesy of Mr. Selim San, Izmir (Turkey). Click on the thumbnail to see the full version.

I was aboard the Aquarama when she was docked in Sarnia Canada years ago. I take pics of lake freighters and am updating my database. Sad to see this beautiful vessel being scrapped. Could someone tell me where she is being scrapped. I see reference to Turkey. Is this in Aliaga by chance. Thanks in advance.

How sad… Sailed on her in 1956 out of Detroit. Many happy memories. Unfortunately - that’s all that remains of her!
