Mission Ship MV Doulos will stop sailing

The ministry of OM’s ship Doulos will come to an end on 31st December 2009. Doulos is the world’s oldest ocean-going passenger ship, now 95 years old, with the hull built in 1914, just two years after Titanic. In spite of the all year round maintenance that has taken place, the amount of steel replacement and other repairs needed for her to continue sailing are overwhelming. The ship is presently in Singapore and has been undergoing the annual period of dry dock and surveys.

I enjoyed my time on the ship and still have very fond memories of her.
