updates: untlitled
wow…it has been one week+ since i last post. consequences: accumulated topics to post, un-able to make up which to post, and un-able to make up the title. hence, no fixed topic and no fixed title.
Ok.., last week i made it a point to visit Doulos…Heard of it? Never heard of it? Anyway here’s a basic intro to Doulos.
Meet Doulos!!..
"Constructed in 1914, MV Doulos is the world’s oldest active ocean-going passenger ship. During her lengthy career, she has sailed under four distinct names: Medina, Roma, Franca C and Doulos.
The ship has been utilised for four very different purposes: freighting
goods, transporting emigrants, for cruises, and most recently in her
present role as a vessel to bring knowledge, help and hope to the
people of the world…….Doulos was purchased in 1977 by Gute Bücher für Alle e.V.
(Good Books for All), a private, non-profit, charitable organisation
registered in Germany.
Over 18 million visitors have been
welcomed on board for tours, programmes and visits to the floating book
fair. With stops in over 500 ports of call, this unique ship has
visited more than 100 countries in including Africa, the Americas,
Asia, Australia, Europe, the Middle East and many island nations.
Doulos is recognised in the Guinness Book of World Records as the world’s oldest active ocean-going passenger ship." - (text taken from http://mvdoulos.org/, 2006)
