For all those that seek passage to The New World aboard this mighty ship, I welcome you on behalf of the Captain and Crew. The past weeks have been stressful for those anxious souls waiting to take delivery of their new rides. May we arrive safe and sound at our final destinations and remember fondly the ones who made this journey informative and entertaining.
OK, enough of the Here's the skinny on this voyage, if you've been lucky enough to get aboard: This is the M/V Liberty: She was originally named Faust and you can read about her history and her specifications here: http://www.globalsecurity.org/milita...ship/faust.htm This is the planned schedule of ports of call: The sailing schedule and ports of call are subject to change without notice. Note: Red ports of call means the vessel has already sailed. Port Country Arrival Departure BREMERHAVEN GERMANY 10/03/2007 12/03/2007 ANTWERP BELGIUM 14/03/2007 14/03/2007 ZEEBRUGGE BELGIUM 15/03/2007 15/03/2007 SOUTHAMPTON UNITED KINGDOM 16/03/2007 16/03/2007 BALTIMORE, MD U.S.A. 25/03/2007 27/03/2007 CHARLESTON,SC U.S.A. 29/03/2007 30/03/2007 BRUNSWICK, GA U.S.A. 31/03/2007 31/03/2007 Once your status on OC or 800# changes to "En Route" you can enter your VIN here to track your car: http://schedule.2wglobal.com/AppTrac...trackType=Auto It's supposed to work, but don't start PMing me at 4 in the morning if it doesn't.

I hope we don't wind up on the top of Mt Ararat when the water starts to recede.
The way it rains in Bremerhaven, I'm glad we'll be getting on an ARC.

Don't worry, when the Alpine White coupe comes back to the ship with an olive branch, you'll be fine.

I hope mine can get to port in time to hop on. Still 'awaiting release to carrier'.
Are you definitely going to be on the Liberty, Steve & Ledzep? |

If you're still waiting for a carrier, it's unlikely that you'll make this voyage. I was in the same position as you last week and didn't arrive at the port until the day after the 3/6 ship departed.

Today's update: As the Liberty enters the port of Bremerhaven, it's one of those rare days that it isn't raining (yet) on the coast of Germany. Maybe we won't have those rusty looking brake discs when we get off the ship! This is the live webcam from Bremerhaven. It updates automatically.
