Journey again with Buddy Peter as he returns the scrappers yards of Alang, India in 2005 to visit another series of liners and ships that have been recently beached for demolition. This DVD has a focus on The Eugenio C, the incredible retired flagship of the Costa line .. as she arrived on the beach under the name “Big Red Boat 2”. Also see the array of items PK saved … lovely chairs, tables and other items .. as well as outstanding art work from the likes of Master artists like Luzzatti and Colacino. Visit other ships too .. and experience their last days of life as the metallic carnage begins being dismantled slice by slice. PK is the documentation authority on the scrapping process and his knowledge on the subject glows throughout. I can hardly wait for the third DVD to be ready! Brand New and Sealed.

Buddy Peter Knego is no stranger to any shred of information involving Ocean Liners and related endeavors .. and his first Indian scrapyard adventure DVD “On The Road to Alang” covers his series of journeys to Alang to document the glut of older tonnage that was retired in the early 2000’s. The video footage covers many ships recognized from their days of crossing or cruising: Empress of Canada, Ivernia/ Franconia, Transvaal Castle, Winston Churchill and Stella Solaris just to name a few. These trips also served as rescue missions for Artwork, Furniture, Fittings and other memorabilia from these retried ladies … with rare scenes of the trader’s yards. A topic that is rarely covered, PK gives poetic tribute to these lovely ladies as they disappear before our eyes into bits and pieces … all to fuel the Indian economy and provide needed work for the local workers. Sealed and Brand New!

Lovely picture of a male passanger on the pre war Batory … standing in front of a HUGE life ring preserver. I can’t imagine this life ring was a novelty item … it must have been usable .. maybe it could have saved multiple people? Very interesting picture …I challenge you to find another!
