MAXIM GORKIY at sea 1993

Two magnificent aerial photographs of the MAXIM GORKIY underway in the Dover straits taken in 1993 by FotoFlite, showing the good looks of the former HAMBURG.
The funnel spots the Russian red and blue colours that were replaced in December 2005 by the Phoenix Reisen logo.

Holt sterben T.S. Hamburg zurück nach Hamburg. Der Hamburger Senat und auch die Investoren sollten alle Hebel in Bewegung setzen diesem kostbaren Stück Hamburger Geschichte endlich einen gebührenden dauerhaften Liegeplatz im Hamburger Hafen zu beschaffen. Es wird bei uns in Deutschland soviel Geld für unsinnige Projekte Ausgegeben. Hier könnte man wirklich einmal etwas sinnvolles tun.

SAVE the T.S. HAMBURG of 1969

The T.S. HAMBURG of 1969 deserves preservation in her original home port of Hamburg. She is an historic ship, one of the best examples of the German shipbuilding art in the 1960s, she is mostly still in original form and well maintained, and she was a very successful cruise ship over the last 40 years. As the MAKSIM GORKIY she was the flagship of the Soviet Union mighty passenger ship fleet and she even played her part in the ending of the cold war when Presidents Mikhail Gorbatchov and Bush met onboard on 2 and 3 December 1989 off Malta. She was recently sold for scrap and is on her way to Alang. She needs a proper berth in the centre of the Port of Hamburg
