Sea Cloud

The legendary Sea Cloud is certainly one of the most beautiful ships afloat. She was designed by Gibbs&Cox and built at the Germania shipyard in Kiel as a private yacht for E. F. Hutton and Marjorie Merriweather Post. Only recently Sea Cloud has had her 75^th birthday.
Presently, Sea Cloud is operated by Sea Cloud Cruises as a cruise ship exceeding the highest standards.
A brief summary of the fascinating history of Sea Cloud is found on the dedicated webpage of Sea Cloud Cruises where you also find other information on this marvellous vessel - for example the cabins, the public areas or a virtual tour of the vessel.
Several articles are available via the Internet: article by Benjamin S. Lyons - article by Rita Cook - article by Rod Lopez-Fabrega & Mary Ashcraft.
During World War II the Sea Cloud was used as weather observation vessel. Under the commnand of Carlton Skinner Sea Cloud became the first ship in the U.S. Navy with a racially integrated crew. You can read more about her service on this webpage of the U.S. Coast Guard.
A discussion forum on the Sea Cloud and related subjects is found on the webpage of Steffi Reimer - see also this blog.
Photos of Sea Cloud are available at YPScollection - just search for 'Sea Cloud' - and at Mike Johnson's Photo Galleries at pbase.com. A 13' German TV documentary on Sea Cloud is availablbe at the webpage of ZDF (a German TV station).
The material for the video-clips presented on this page was recorded during a Western Mediterranean cruise from La Valetta to Motril in November 2005. Ports of call were Trapani, Cagliari and Palma de Mallorca.
