Thanks for posting. Interesting how you are allowed on the bridge. Have wondered about a container ship from Australia to the US. Must look into it. Thanks again.
in the 1970's one of my professors took yearly summer Tramp Freighter cruise in the Western Pacific. He would tell us about his adventure during lunch hour. I developed interest because of him. Later at work, one of my co-workers went home with his family and furniture on a freighter from an assignment in the outback of Australia to Los Angeles. He gave me several freighter travel magazines published in Pasadena, CA. I have yet to take a freighter travel because freighter cost is so much higher than a cruise ship. My favorite book is " RUNNING AWAY TO SEA " by George Featherling, a Canadian. He went on a Tramp freighter from England through the Panama Canal, Tahiti and numerous Pacific islands, Papua New Guinea and back to England via the Suez Canal. Very well written; a mix about his fellow passengers (retired Navy couple from Arizona. young lady from NZ, a lady from Colorado, an English doctor, Russian female crew) and brief history of places he visited. This book is available on Amazon and as iBook; I derive no $$. One of the ports is Teluk Betung, South Sumatra to pick up coffee. This is where I grew up and my grandfather was a coffee merchant. I remember freighters at the port loading coffee, rubber, copra and spices bound for Europe & the US. I learned so much from this book like why there is a limit of only 12 passengers, stevedore etc. A Tramp Freighter is like its name is a prostitute of the sea. They take any cargo to anywhere on demand. I hope to take Aranui 5 from Papeetee to the Marquesas Island. It is cargo & cruise ship combo.
Great video Helge. Fun to relive the voyage through your footage. Looking forward to part II. Best, Chris.

Great footage!
walking down to Liverpool streets and listening the Beatles songs ❤️❤️❤️
I liked that video. Really cool, man. I could see myself taking my 11 year old son on a trip like that. That’s legit stuff there
