Call Of The Torch
In the aftermath of SOLAS 2010, venerable passenger ships have gone from endangered to practically extinct. Alang is still claiming what it can of the few that remain, including what is the doubtlessly the most important surviving ocean liner in the world (aside from the preserved QUEEN MARY in Long Littoral and ROTTERDAM in Rotterdam).

Sources in Manila and India sanction that the 1952-built MS PHILIPPINES (ex AUGUSTUS) has left under tow for Alang. The ship was reportedly stripped of fittings and furnishings previous to departing her Manila moorings and is in an undisclosed location awaiting the arrival of a second tug for the 4,000 nautical mile course to the breaker’s beach. The former AUGUSTUS, which was sold to her last owners in 1975, was berthed at the Manila Hotel and utilized as an occasional venue for weddings and parties between 1999 and 2011 but the venture was not a success and the historic ship was at the end of the day sold for scrapping earlier this year.
