lepak lepak: Doulos

lepak wif kny, vid and my cousin to doulos this evening hehe.....its not tat i like books....juz go thr be kepo.....xD....this ship isn't tat big after all....smaller than the Gemini cruiser class i've travelled wif.... which is like 50% wider and comparatively longer than her....n yet Gemini is considered the smaller class among the starcruise lines hehe....


inside the deck whr books r being sold.....freakin crowded zzz.....


some technical info regarding the ship......omfg....94 years old!!....can't bliff this shyt hadn't sink yet n could make her way to our humble kch... hahaha....btw really impressed wif US's heavy machinery tat they can come up with such class of ship almost a century ago......and it's even pre-ww2 era.....what had malaysia come up wif n achieved now haha....

throughout the years since she was built.....doulos had been put into 4 service phases.....doulas was the last name assigned since 1977 till now.....previously she was named after Medina, Roma and then Franca C serving different purposes....gd thing she wasn't torpedoed by nazi subs hahah....


the patches and rivets state clearly how old the ship was =_="....so battered edy...
