The former cruise liner 'SS Rotterdam' of the Holland America Line is back in Rotterdam, this time to stay! The ship will be used for conferences, housing a hotel and a restaurant.
Visitors are not (yet) allowed to access the quay, so this is the best I could do for now. I will have to go back some other time.
Nov 6: heard on the news this morning that the housing corporation owning this ship had a budget of 6 million euros for this project. They've run into trouble now, as the total cost in reality is about 200 million euros!!!

Altar servers called to bring 'beauty and grace' to liturgy

It’s like being a junior priest. That’s how 11-year-old Timothy Ruane described life as an altar server.
Ruane, who serves at three Valley parishes, joined more than 60 servers — including boys, girls, teenagers and some men — at Ss. Simon and Jude Cathedral Nov. 1. That’s where Fr. Rob Clements, rector of the cathedral, offered a special Mass in honor of diocesan altar servers.
They hailed from at least eight different parishes and as far away as Flagstaff. Some dressed in traditional church attire, others in their parish T-shirts and still others in their albs.
Eighteen altar servers helped Fr. Clements and Fr. Jeff Harvey, pastor of St. Vincent de Paul Parish, during the Mass.
“It’s a real privilege to serve God in this way and it’s also a real honor to carry the cross,” 11-year-old Ailan Samuels said of the ministry. He made the pilgrimage to the cathedral from San Francisco de Asís Parish in Flagstaff.

From the SS Great Britain website
The SS Great Britain was a world first when she was launched in Bristol in 1843. This uniquely successful ship design brought together new technologies in a way which transformed world travel.
Isambard Kingdom Brunel, the most daring of the great Victorian engineers, conceived the groundbreaking combination of a screw propeller, an iron hull, and a massive 1000-horsepower steam engine.
She was immediately successful - on her maiden voyage across the Atlantic the ss Great Britain easily broke the previous speed record.
Although effectively a prototype, she continued sailing until 1886, and travelled thirty-two times around the world and nearly one million miles at sea.
She was finally abandoned in the Falkland Islands, in 1937, after more than 40 years use as a floating warehouse.
In 1970 an ambitious salvage effort brought her home to Bristol, where today she is conserved in the dry dock where she was originally built.
The SS Rotterdam, known as "The Grande Dame", was launched by Queen Juliana in a gala ceremony on 13 September 1958, and completed the following summer. The Rotterdam was the last great Dutch "ship of state", employing the finest artisans from the Netherlands in her construction and fitting out process. With a career spanning forty years, she was also one of the most successful passenger ships of all time. She sailed from Rotterdam to New York (the Holland America Line) from 1959 until her final retirement in September 2000. Now she's a luxury hotel and restaurant, and we celebrated my mothers 65th birthday there!
