Tribute to the Sun Vista

Sank: Friday, May 21, 1999

Sun News

Following the news that the Sun Vista cruiseship sank off of the coast of Malaysia, we decided that we should put together a web tribute to the ship and crew that provided us with so much pleasure for a week last November. We were very happy to hear that all of the passengers and crew were safely rescued, but we feel sorry for the crew members who lost their jobs, personal belongings, and home when the ship listed and sunk. So to Dennis, Clifford, Irene, Captain Anders Andersson, and all of the others we would like to extend our thanks and wish you the best of luck!!!
