CaptainsVoyage - Captain Bank I'm a Captain and a Wanderluster passionate about aviation, shipping, and cars, photography, gadgets, travels, and service excellency.

While my passion is aviation, my profession is to be a Captain. This page is the tale of my life on my photographic journey. Since I was a very young boy, I have always loved taking pictures of the things that I love the most, and have an interest in. In general terms, that means everything that has some kind of engine inside of it: from tiny gadgets to large ships and airplanes, cars and buses. I

f it’s got an engine, or it’s a gadget, I love them all. Probably the main focus for me is the maritime- and the aviation industry. During my “off-time” from working on ships, the vast majority of my time goes to the aviation industry, and traveling to exotic places. My passion is to experience new places, meet new challenges head on, and to both meet, and understand other people’s stories. If you would like to follow my travels and my journey through life, I would be more than honored to welcome you to follow my page.

Originally designed as a City of Chicago Fireboat, the Fred A. Busse was built in Bay City, Michigan in 1936. The boat was named for the 39th Mayor of Chicago, who served as Mayor from 1907 until 1911. It was placed into service with the Chicago Fire Department May 4, 1937, and at the time it was built, it was the largest diesel powered Fireboat, in the world. It was built specifically for Chicago, to fit underneath the cities bridges, minimizing response times for emergencies and helping to ease the congestion in a booming city.

With 4 water pumps onboard, the boat was rated for a combined 10,000 gallons per minute and could spray water up to 27 stories high. The boat served valiantly and responded to countless emergencies, before finally retiring from the Fire Department in 1981.

After being taken out of service she was sold and began the process of conversion into a tour boat. The Busse operated in Chicago for some time, then was sold again and relocated to Sturgeon Bay, Wisconsin where she conducted tours until April of 2019.

She was then purchased by Navy veterans Ray Novak and Erich Totsch Together they started 'Chicago Fireboat Tours' , So now the 100% veteran-owned former fireboat serves as their flagship on Lake Michigan's picturesque Chicago lakefront where they conduct historical tours on the lake and Chicago River, lakefront Cruises, and private events for up to 127 people. The interior of the fireboat is a miniature museum of sorts with pictures of the boats time in action, and antique firefighting equipment on display.

Look what I spotted hanging on a Sari Sari store shop front in Quezon City.... I saw this for just a second or two in a YouTube video from a recent massive flooding in Quezon City.

Yes, it is clearly the Crystal Symphony!

What could possibly say Norwegian "summer" better than this, from the viewpoint of a drone hovering over a fragrant flower-filled hillside.

The Norwegian lesson of today:

Blomstereng = flowerfield.

AIDAperla back in Trondheim a few days ago, I think she will visit Trondheim 17 times this year. Quite a regular - and right now we have almost a full week with no cruise-ships coming.

Sadly, none of the "newer" and "largest" ships find it interesting enough to come to Trondheim, and I have my very educated theories about why that is so.

Finally some good news, it appears as Serenissima (former Harald Jarl) is in some way back on Norwegian hands. Not sure if she is chartered or sold to Vestland Classic, but if anyone knows, please do let me know.

She is currently enroute to Gdansk, where also Ragnvald Jarl is under renovations.

Picture from Google Street view, although old, shows the Ragnvald Jarl in Gdansk.

Nearly 100 people on board were rescued after a night ferry caught fire in southern Thailand on April 4, local media reported. According to public broadcaster Thai PBS, the fire broke out in the engine room at around 6.40 am local time, about two nautical miles off the popular tourist island of Koh Tao in Gulf of Thailand. The sleeper boat, carrying 90 passengers and eight crew members, was en route from Surat Thani province to the island. Nearby boats were dispatched to assist the passengers and crew, and all the people on board were brought to safety, Marine Department director-general Kritpetch Chaichuay told Thai PBS.

2023 was a great year with SAS for me, and I hope and pray that 2024 will be equally great even though I still have really big doubts about the transfer to SkyTeam instead of Star Alliance. How do you feel about leaving Star Alliance?

I've received 1,000 reactions to my posts in the past 30 days. Thanks for your support. 🙏🤗🎉

YAY. Excited. I 💙 SAS. PS: Shorts at my YouTube channel.

Not my cat, but this one captured by my Dashcam is cute, and even more importantly, smart. The original recording is super sharp, but after uploading to FB, it is literally rubbish quality.

Sunday morning. End of a week, soon to become the start of another week.

Guess where I miss working? No price to the winner.

Had to share this clip from TikTok because I thought it was so cool.

I'm looking for more subscribers to my YouTube-channel! You are all personally invited to to check out the channel and spend some time there. More subscribers would be great. https://www.youtube.com/c/CaptainsVoyage
