She was also called the S.S.Australis for many years. I travelled from England to Australia on her in 1977. Many fond memories.

Thank you for this lovely, if somewhat disheartening, video of something, once so useful, now just an almost forgotten memory.

The circle of life. It was built from the Earth, and in the end, Earth retakes what was once hers.

Nice. I saw it October 2000, when it was still reasonably intact.

I visited the ship when I was about 7 or 8 and it was still standing I am now 15..... But that was after 2005 it was like 2007 or something I can pin point the year but I know it wasn't 2005 and It was still standing? Not sure though

SS American Star Video in 2008 name: From Low to High Tide - The last battle of the American Star. Search this to find a video that shows the SS American Star's other part in 2008.

The SS Normandie in my opinion puts this and both of the Queens on the back burner.

I don’t think she was ever used as a prison ship, she was laid up near Piraeus in Greece and there were many plans to revive her that never happened due to the fact that she was in a very bad state and would have been very costly to restore.

She was sold for use as a prison ship, although never used as such.

Simon Taylor Oh okay! I thought that I read somewhere that she was planned to be turned into a resort off the coast of Africa and she was then considered to be turned into a prison, but I might be wrong.

Stripped artifacts adorn local shops? Was anyone ever arrested for pirating the ship's fixtures? People are such entitled assholes.
