Podcast appearances and mentions of star clipper

Från 2009. Bil efter bil kör ut i mörkret, över kanten och faller i en båge ner mot det iskalla vattnet. Nya avsnitt från P3 Dokumentär hittar du först i Sveriges Radio Play. Det är en svart januarinatt 1980 och vattnet är spegelblankt. Lastfartyget Star Clipper ångar fram över Askeröfjorden på väg till Uddevalla. På avstånd syns lanternorna på bron mellan fastlandet och Tjörn, som speglar sig i vattnet.Tjocka isflak gjorde styrningen besvärligFörst girar båten åt vänster, sen väntar en lätt högersväng för att komma på rätt kurs under bron. Men plötsligt slutar båten att svänga. Något händer med roderfunktionen när det är några hundra meter kvar till den smala passagen.Ett våldsamt dån fortplantar sig in över land när lyftkranarna ombord på Star Clipper rammar den bågkonstruktion som håller bron uppe. Sekunder senare har hela bron rasat.Elektriciteten slås ut, men via en bärbar radio lyckas lotsen anropa kustradiostationen i Göteborg. Via en knastrig linje som tack vare det klara vädret ändå fungerar, försöker lotsen kalla på hjälp: ”Bron är borta, stoppa trafiken!” Men olyckans omfattning når inte fram. Det dröjer innan polisen får klart för sig vad som hänt.En dokumentär av: Ida LundqvistDokumentären är en repris från 2009

En dimmig natt den 18 januari 1980 är fartyget Star Clipper på väg in mot hamnen i Uddevalla. Men när det ska passera under Tjörnbron vid Almösundet går något väldigt fel. Rodret tar inte och nu är det väldiga fartyget på väg rakt in i brospannet.Samtidigt är lastbilschauffören Jan Rosenberg på väg över bron för att göra en leverans. Men framför honom tar däckspåren i snön plötsligt slut.Bron finns inte längre kvar. Hjälplöst får han stå och se på när bil efter bil kör ut över gapet, 40 meter rakt ner i det mörka havet. Detta är berättelsen om Tjörnbrokatastrofen, där en olycklig kombination av slump och öden leder till den värsta broolyckan någonsin i Svensk historia.

Kathleen from Plenty of Sunshine Travel met with Fernanda from Star Clippers for this week's cruise chat. . If you found value in this video and wish to help this channel. You can send a donation using this link ~ https://bit.ly/KathleenPenner. Star Clippers is very unique. You will sail like our ancestors did many years ago, letting the wind take you to your destinations. In fact, Star Clippers try their best not to use their engines. They plan the itineraries to go in the direction of the trade winds. The Journeys are created with the wind charts, and the major energy source is wind propulsion—minimal motor emissions, which is safer for the environment. . You can climb the masts and get quite the view from the platform of the sails. Each day, you watch the beautiful sails being raised and go the way of the ocean. Most of the rooms don't have balconies, only on their newest ship are suites with a balcony..Their ships have a deep draft - which means that they sit low in the ocean, and because of this, you will not feel the waves as much as you would on the larger ships. This is an authentic way of sailing ~ It's not your typical way of sailing, and they are near replicas of the clipper ships from the Golden Age of sailing. . I would enjoy laying on the netting at the ship's bow and would love to see the dolphins jumping around us. . Star Clipper has an open bridge policy, which is a ton of fun to pop into the bridge and chat with the captain about the controls and the area around the ship. . There are knot-tying nautical talks where they teach you to tie knots properly and expertly. You can also “Take the Helm” and steer the ship. . Local Entertainment with Nightly Dancing Under the Stars & More! PLUS, you will enjoy complimentary Watersports. You can do snorkelling, kayaking, paddle-boarding, waterskiing, sailing, and more on the Marina Platform. . One guest left a review for Star Clippers - they said: There is truly no experience as thrilling as a clipper ship, the food is awesome, and the staff is fabulous. Sailing is for your heart and Soul. The Star Clippers Fleet Royal Clipper Length 439 feet Draft - 18.4 feet 54,000 square feet of sails. 42 sails, 5 Masts, 227 passengers with 106 Crew. Atria has 114 staterooms, including 3 swimming pools and a B-story interior—a spa & health Club with an observation lounge and a library. The Star Clippers & Star Flyer is very much like sailing on a private yacht. The length is 379 feet, and the draft is 18.4 feet. 36,200 square feet of sails. She can reach speeds of 5-19 knots with 16 sails and 4 masts. 166 guests are onboard, and you will be serviced by 74 crew.

They also depart from St Maarten on the Leeward itinerary or Treasure Islands itinerary.

Die Großsegler von Star Clippers sind ein ganz besonders Erlebnis. Über eine Kreuzfahrt mit der Star Clipper entlang der Pazifikküste Costa Ricas sprechen wir in dieser Episode des Cruisetricks.de-Kreuzfahrt-Podcasts, stellen das Schiff vor und geben einen Überblick zu Costa Rica. Im Vergleich zu anderen Kreuzfahrtschiffen bietet die Star Clipper viele Besonderheiten: Entspannung ganz vorne im Bugspriet-Netz, das Abenteuer Mastklettern, eine offene Brücke, sehr legere Kleiderordnung und natürlich das Segel-Erlebnis und Fahrtrouten mit Häfen, die sonst kaum ein anderes Schiff anläuft. Wir sprechen über all das ausführlich, reden aber auch über das Publikum an Bord, das Essen und etwas ausführlicher als sonst über die Kabinen, bei denen jede ein wenig anders aussieht und zugeschnitten ist. Außerdem sprechen wir über die Fahrtroute der Star Clipper an der Pazifik-Küste von Costa Rica mit Start- und Zielhafen Puntarenas und was einen an Land in Nationalparks und großartigen Stränden erwartet – darunter beispielsweise auch Krokodile, Brüllaffen oder Faultiere.

All das präsentiert euch Niklas heute in unserem nächsten virtuellen Kundenabend auf Facebook und YouTube. Um 19.00 Uhr geht es los, seid live dabei und stellt gerne aktiv eure Fragen.

Från 2009. Bil efter bil kör ut i mörkret, över kanten, och faller i en båge ner mot det iskalla vattnet. I år är det 40 år sedan katastrofen då Tjörnbron rasade efter att ett fartyg kört in i den. Det är en svart januarinatt 1980 och vattnet är spegelblankt. Lastfartyget Star Clipper ångar fram över Askeröfjorden, på väg till Uddevalla. På avstånd syns lanternorna på bron mellan fastlandet och Tjörn, som speglar sig i vattnet. Först girar båten åt vänster, sen väntar en lätt högersväng för att komma på rätt kurs under bron. Men plötsligt slutar båten att svänga. Något händer med roderfunktionen när det är några hundra meter kvar till den smala passagen. Ett våldsamt dån fortplantar sig in över land när lyftkranarna ombord på Star Clipper rammar den bågkonstruktion som håller bron uppe. Sekunder senare har hela bron rasat. Elektriciteten slås ut, men via en bärbar radio lyckas lotsen anropa kustradiostationen i Göteborg. Via en knastrig linje som tack vare det klara vädret ändå fungerar, försöker lotsen kalla på hjälp: ”Bron är borta, stoppa trafiken!” Men olyckans omfattning når inte fram. Det dröjer innan polisen får klart för sig vad som hänt. Producerat av: Ida Lundqvist.Sändes första gången: 29 mars 2009.

Auf Kreuzfahrt mit dem Großsegler in Indonesien: Zum ersten Mal fährt Star Clippers Routen in Indonesien mit Bali, Java, Madura und Lombok. Abseits der üblichen Kreuzfahrtrouten trifft man auf gastfreundliche Menschen, ein faszinierender Mix der Kulturen und beeindruckende Natur. In dieser Podcast-Episode sprechen wir ausführlich über das Segel-Kreuzfahrt-Erlebnis in Indonesien, die Route, die möglichen Landausflüge. Und natürlich sprechen wir über die Star Clipper mit ihren Besonderheiten und dem so ganz anderen Ambiente im Vergleich zu großen Hochsee-Kreuzfahrtschiffen. Denn auch die Aktivitäten an Bord unterscheiden sich hier deutlich: Keine Shops, kein Casino, kein Entertainment im Theater. Dafür Mastklettern ins Krähennest, Entspannen am Sonnendeck unter den riesigen Segeln oder vorne im Bugspriet-Netz direkt über dem Wasser mit Blick auf die Segel und den Steven, der durchs Wasser schneidet.

Det var en overklig syn som mötte barnen på Myggnäs skola på Tjörn på morgonen den 18 januari 1980. Almöbron som band ihop Tjörn och Orust med fastlandet fanns inte längre. Klockan halv två på natten hade det liberiaregistrerade fartyget Star Clipper kolliderat med bron som rasade. Sju bilar följde med ner i djupet. Åtta människor dog.

A sort of unusual episode here: Star Clipper in St. Louis runs a weekly seminar series in the summertime under the moniker Comics University. I was invited to give a presentation on the history of anime and manga, which, as you can … Continue reading →

Det är svart januarinatt 1980 och vattnet är spegelblankt. Lastfartyget Star Clipper ångar fram över Askeröfjorden, på väg till Uddevalla. På avstånd syns lanternorna på bron mellan fastlandet och Tjörn, som speglar sig i vattnet. Först girar båten åt vänster, sen väntar en lätt högersväng för att komma på rätt kurs under bron. Men plötsligt slutar båten att svänga. Något händer med roderfunktionen när det är några hundra meter kvar till den smala passagen. Evighetslånga minuter senare ekar ett våldsamt dån som fortplantar sig in över land när lyftkranarna ombord på Star Clipper rammar den bågkonstruktion som håller bron uppe. Sekunder senare har hela bron rasat ner och vägbanan ligger som ett spagettistrå över den kvaddade båten. Elektriciteten slås ut, men via en bärbar radio lyckas lotsen anropa kustradiostationen i Göteborg. Via en knastrig linje som tack vare det klara vädret ändå fungerar, försöker lotsen kalla på hjälp: ”Bron är borta, stoppa trafiken!” Men olyckans omfattning når inte fram. Det dröjer innan polisen får klart för sig vad som hänt. Under tiden står besättningen ombord på Star Clipper och ser bil efter bil köra över kanten på den nedfallna bron, sväva ut i mörkret och falla 40 meter ner mot det iskalla vattnet. P3 Dokumentär berättar om Tjörnbrokatastrofen.  Producerat av: Ida Lundqvist Sändes första gången: 29 mars 2009
