Creator's Key Takeaways

I sailed on her final voyage. She was renamed Victoria after Sea Princess because they were building a new Sea Princess for Princess Cruises.

So buyer beware, back up your sources. Ask for pictures of the item on the ship if you're going to buy from these people.

I made nine trips altogether. My last trip to India was for the Discovery, which was at that time well, she was originally the island venture, which became the island princess.

Creator's Tips & Advice

βœ“Be very careful when buying ship artifacts from Indian scrapyards; verify authenticity with photos and reliable sources.
βœ“When restoring wood from ships, use orange oil and ensure proper ventilation due to toxicity.
