After a six-month odyssey around the world, during which it was hit by coronavirus and saw the oceans dramatically empty of other vessels, the last cruise liner still carrying passengers has made its final port of call, delivering its eight guests to a world vastly changed from the one they set sail in.
The cruise ship ARTANIA tied up in the Germany port of Bremerhaven on Monday june 8th, bringing an end and epic return voyage from Australia that saw the ship make numerous diversions en route to drop off crew members.
All eight passengers still on board were due to disembark by midday local time.
Artania's arrival comes more than two months after the last major leisure ships carrying significant numbers of passengers were taken out of commission, as the cruise industry slammed the brakes on sailing amid the global pandemic.
While the Costa Deliziosa, the MSC Magnifica and the Pacific Princess -- the final significant vessels overseen by industry group Cruise Lines International Association, docked in april, the Artania kept on sailing, the end of its journey still weeks away.
The ship, which can carry up to 1,200 passengers, set sail on a 140-day world cruise from Hamburg, Germany on December 21, 2019. Cruise operator Phoenix.
In March, coronavirus caught up with the cruise when 36 passengers tested positive for the virus following a check from Australian health officials when the ship arrived in Fremantle, Western Australia.

Those affected were quarantined in local hospitals, according to the cruise operator.
Three people who were on the ship have since died -- two male passengers, one aged 69 and one aged 71, and one 42-year-old male crew member.
The Artania's healthy guests stayed quarantined on the Artania until their repatriation flights at the end of March. Hundreds of Artania passengers, the majority of whom were German, flew back from Western Australia to Frankfurt, a handful stayed in hospital in Australia to recover.
And eight passengers decided to travel back home via ocean, rather than via airplane. These travelers were subsequently granted the surreal status of becoming the last cruise ship passengers at sea.
They watched the world change, countries lock down and reopen again, all while they remained at sea, the last cruisers of the world's oceans.
But while the journey home to Europe after Artania left Australia on April 18 should've taken a few weeks, it was extended by stop offs in Southeast Asia in order to repatriate many of its remaining crew members.
Some European crew had been able to fly home from Perth to Frankfurt alongside passengers. The rest of the crew remained on the ship, with the Artania making calls in Bali and Manila to allow workers to return home.

Verhaal over de kaping van de SANTA MARIA - zusterschip van de VERA CRUZ van de Companhia Colonial de Navegação (Portugal)
Name auteur: Reuben Goossens

T.N. Santa Maria.
As many of my readers will well know that it was the TN Santa Maria what made this pair of Portuguese passenger liners famous, for it was the Santa Maria that was hijacked just off the coast of Curacao. At the time the Santa Maria under the command of Captain Mario Simoes Maia, and her primary use was for the colonial trade to Angola and Mozambique, Portugal’s colonies in Africa, and migrant trade to Brazil. Her ports of call were as follows: Lisbon via Madeira, Tenerife, to La Guairá. Then via Curacao to Havana (later it would be to San Juan), and finally Port Everglades and back to Lisbon. The average trade for this gray-hulled liner was mostly migrants to Venezuela as well as general passenger traffic, especially the luxury First and Cabin Class trade.

But it would be on Monday, January 22, 1961, at 01.30 in the morning when the biggest ever shipboard hijack occurred as the Santa Maria was taken hostage by a 66 year old “Captain Henrique Galvao”, who was a passenger on board and an ex Portuguese military (Navy) officer and political foe of Portuguese dictator Antonio de Oliveira Salazar and the head of the “Estado Novo” regime. He had a team of 24 Portuguese and Spanish rebels who were operating from a base in Venezuela. As soon as the ship was in the control of the hijackers, it was announced that the ship had officially been taken over by the rebels and as the hijack continued, it became more and more apparent by all onboard that the ship there was a new captain on board who was in control, but it was certainly not the ships Captain Mario Simoes!
Later it became obvious that most of captain Galvao’s conspirators had come aboard in La Guairá Venezuela, bringing aboard their suitcases all of which had secret compartments that hid their weapons. The last of the team came aboard in Curacao either as passengers with their special luggage, or in order to save money by pretending to be friends and family members of the captain, being there just to visit and to wave good bye.

But when the Santa Maria departed they had hidden themselves aboard with his assistance, all part of many months planning. In addition captain Galvao had arranged for a young lady to work as a telephone operator on board the ship for this specific job. During her voyages on the Santa Maria she had memorized all the ships communications details and systems and noted the stations taken by the crew during their night watches. She when he and his party had joined the ship in La Guairá she reported back all her findings to the captain and his men. But the Galvao and his rebels waited until the Santa Maria departed Curacao for the attack and seizure of the ship which was quite violent as the ships officers resisted fiercely!
Henrique Galvao and his terrorists seized the ship in the early morning, and ensured that they ceased all communications. During the fight they killed one officer, being the 3rd Mate, Mr. Nascimento Costa and wounded several others in the process of taking complete command over this luxury liner. The rebels forced crew members, along with Captain Mario Simoes Maia to take the ship on a new course.
After the seizure of the Santa Maria, that just took just 10 minutes, Henrique Galvao summoned the passengers and some of the crew to the First Class lounge where the situation was explained to them in Portuguese and Spanish, with a few details added in English. Henrique Galvao concluded this meeting by playing Tchaikovsky’s 1812 Overture on ships public address system as a sign of celebration! Although all this seems rather tame, yet one of the passengers stated that all passengers at one time were held at gunpoint in the dining room.
At the Caribbean Island of St. Lucia, those who had been injured during the battle during the seizure of the ship were place into a lifeboat, which was manned by six sailors and a nurse. The Santa Maria simply steamed away leaving the lifeboat and headed into the Atlantic.
Soon enough Henrique Galvao commenced to send his radio messages being his “official communiqués” against the Salazar, and Franco Governments in Portugal and Spain and he did this all in a rather flowery and beautiful Portuguese language as he was known to be a “poet” and he addressed it to the: “Democratic newspapers and radio stations of the free World.” In the meantime the whereabouts of the ship was unknown, but a massive sea and air search commenced.

Portugal quickly demanded action against Captain Henrique Galvao, but for some reason Britain and America hesitated to act. Internationally the matter was a difficult situation (WHY?) for Governments to deal with, but, can a hijack of a passenger liner ever be condoned, no matter the reason? I believe that both Britain and the USA should be ashamed and condemned for they should have acted immediately!
A British frigate did see the Santa Maria somewhere in the Atlantic and kept her in view, but for some reason they did not report here whereabouts, and then they “lost sight of her.” U.S. destroyers combed the area completely but they could find “nothing.” Both of these could be considered as a crime in maritime law, as they did not want to get involved and considering that already a life had been lost and people injured, they had a duty to protect innocent passengers on this ship!! The Santa Maria remained lost somewhere on the Atlantic and the evil Henrique Galvao continued to broadcast from the Santa Maria his so-called official “communiqués to the free press.”
Then, 10 days later it would be an old Danish steamer (thank God for the Danes!) that was slowly sailing along a normal shipping lane, reported that they had just met the Portuguese Liner, Santa Maria and had “exchanged greetings with her and Captain Galvao.” Finally the liner had been found again. Apparently she was off the coast Recife, Brazil and soon enough a Rear Admiral on board the USS Gearing would be negotiating with Henrique Galvao out at sea.

As this was a major world news story, news personnel from around the world had very quickly converged on Recife. They and their interpreters soon converged upon the USS Gearing that was still tied up dockside and she was about to set to sail to meet up with the Santa Maria not far from port now and negotiate with Henrique Galvao.
Upon arrival USS Gearing stopped a few miles off shore and some 500 yards starboard from the Santa Maria. Sailors, marines, the media together with their Brazilian interpreters at their side continued to watch, wait to see what was going to happen.

However, another interesting event took place that day, it goes like this: “A fool from the French magazine “Paris Match,” rented the equivalent of a Piper Cub after missing the Gearing's departure, and parachuted into the shark infested waters between both ships with the even more foolish intent of trying to land on the liner's forecastle.” Well, his idiotic effort was presumed to scoop the mob of reporters who were already on scene, but instead he made himself the biggest fool of all! He was retrieved from the water safely while Marines were assigned to control the exuberant, pushing and rubber-necking concerned-citizens-of-the-world reporters who were getting a little too close to the Gearing's life-lines.

In order to solve the situation the Brazilian government who for a long time had opposed Antonio Salazar in Portugal, announced that should Henrique Galvao wish to enter Brazilian waters, he and his men would be granted political asylum, which is what then happened. Passengers and crew were landed at Recife, Brazil and the liner was given back to her owners in Portugal. Captain Henrique Galvao decided to surrender the ship without any further mayhem.

Captain Henrique Galvao may have been a colourful and in some ways an interesting person. In addition he had been a brave Navy man, a politician, poet, playwright, pamphleteer and a writer with a considerable amount of work published mainly on African themes. For 20 years Galvao had served as an Inspector General in the Portuguese colony of Angola, in West Africa. In this official capacity Galvao had chronicled abuses committed against the Africans by the Portuguese Government, under the leadership of Premier Antonio Salazar. Galva’s writings irritated Salazar and finally Galvao was arrested for treason and jailed.
In jail, Henrique Galvao continued to write and smuggle pamphlets out. This caused his jail sentence to be added an extra 12 years. However, by feigning illness in jail, he was admitted to a Lisbon hospital. Disguised as a medical doctor, Henrique Galvao managed to walk away from this hospital and disappear from Portugal. Later he turned up in South America, first in Argentina, later in Venezuela joining other exiles in the Portuguese Liberation Movement. But, in my book he was simply evil, for there is no justification in terrorism and murder, no matter what, thus he will always remain a terrorist and responsible of murder and the wounding of a peaceful passenger liner’s crew!
Santa Maria returns to Companhia Colonial De Navegacao:

The ship was returned to her owners in Recife and she returned to Lisbon just with her crew. Having returned to Lisbon, she had her lifeboat restored and the Santa Maria soon returned to her regular services and continued a rather uneventful life at sea!

De SANTA MARIA werd uiteindelijk in 1973 gesloopt in Kaohsiung samen met de VERA CRUZ
