On February 8, 2008, the SS OCEANIC, which was originally American Export Lines' SS INDEPENDENCE, was towed from her layup berth in San Francisco through the Golden Gate and across the Pacific to her doom. Her fascinating life and sad, complex ending are recalled in Peter Knego's narration as this majestic ship was escorted out of San Francisco Bay, never to return to U.S. shores. Ultimately denied access to the shipbreaking yards of Alang (through another complicated quagmire of events), the forner INDEPENDENCE grounded off Gopnath (near Alang) where she broke in two and was scrapped in 2010. #ssindependence #alang #scrapyard #scrapships #classicliners #oceanliner Music licensed from Artlist includes: "When I'm Gone" by Gal Lev; "Footsteps" by Diamonds and Ice; "Arietta" by Damon Power and "The Candle Goes Out" by Anthony Vega
