Flashback week 01-2009
On the first week of 2009 we just continued where we stopped last year, with ugly ships offcourse…..what else would you expect from this site?
We saw the conversion-disaster of the Skandi Inspector.
Traditionally we needed a Posts top something.
There were the working anomalies James Newman & sisters on the river Thames.
We looked at Strange Funnels (part 1), more to follow later in the year.
And then the psychedelic and confusing array of various colors of the Scharhorn.
Even the owners of a sistership of the Saint James think these ships are ugly.

As every self-respecting media-format is now publishing all kinds of top-somethings lists I felt that we had to keep up the tradition and produce a few of those to reflect the year that has been.
If you don’t like them, please feel free to ignore but otherwise: enjoy!
Starting today with nr 5 we will count down till New Years eve by posting every day another list, in order of interestingness.
We’ll kick off with the “Search Engine Terms” you used which made you find this site.
Top 10 Search Engine Terms

9 : Norwegian Epic
8 : Ulstein X-bow
7 : Uglyships / Ugly Ships
