Chances are you won’t travel on one of these if you’ll be in Rio for the World Cup or the Olympics; here’s what the newer ferries will look like.
The step-by-step building of Seven Seas here. Click here for the rest of the fleet. I learned a new word here: moon pool.
Researching Dialcar III led to very little directly, but I stumbled onto this huge trove . . .
The scene in Guanabara Bay, with William C. O’Malley in the foreground. Who was O’ Malley? Anyhow, researching the vessel led–once again–to this Brazilian blog by Erik Azevedo. Erik . . you still there? Onde você está?
Closer up of another pilot . . . 09 . .
Maersk Helper and Deepstim Brasil I and II.
Havila Faith and Toisa Pegasus. Click here for an interesting slideshow on Havila history, far from tropical Rio.
At anchor, l to r: Art Carlson, Richard A. Philippi, Maersk Launcher, C-Enforcer, and Santos Supplier.
Another shot of Richard A. Philippi–I liked it better in Torm colors! Here’s another Rio vessel cache.
Another Norwegian in Rio . . . Olympic Triton.
Great names . . . crude tankers Madre de Deus and Front Symphony
Ipanema, another great old ferry. See a promo video and hear the language here.
Which brings us back to our fishing boat . . .
Muito obrigado to my daughter Myriam for these fotos. Just this week I learned of a Brazilian singer-songwriter playing in the outer boros of NYC. Hear Mallu Magalhães here in English and here and here in Portuguese.
If you’re new to this blog, back in July 2013 I devoted 25 posts to Rio.
