You are listening to this is Cruise Radio Rewind. Real reviews from real cruisers.

I hope you're hanging in there and taking care of yourself. My name is Doug Parker. This is Cruise Radio

Rewind. Maritime historian and journalist Peter Kenego drops in today. When it comes to the

cruise industry, Peter is probably one of the most passionate,

diverse, and knowledgeable people I've ever come across. In fact, so what Peter does is he goes

over to Alleng India. That's where the graveyard is for the cruise ships. If you ever seen the

videos where the cruise ships go up on a beach full speed ahead and kind of rest for the last time.

That's where Peter goes.

And he also documents his journey along the way. In fact, he has two documentaries. One's called On the Road to Allang and the other is the Sands of Alang. And I've watched both of them and they're really good. So we're going to talk to him about the documentary. what it's like actually going over there and, you know, being one of the last people on a cruise ship before it gets broken up and just what the atmosphere is like. Basically, this is going to be kind of an unscripted conversation. I'm going to just, I'm taking full advantage of this hour I have with Peter. So we'll have him in just a couple of moments here.

clips that I've shot over the past 20 years and filing them and, you know, doing stuff that I've

and going on ships. Yeah, a few years ago, we're going to talk about this more in a little bit,

but you had a documentary, speaking of going on ships and flying around the world, called the Sands

of Elang, and Alang India is where the cruise ships go. It's basically their graveyard. So we're

going to talk all about that in just a little bit.

I have so many questions to ask you, Peter, because anytime I just cherish the time I get

with you because you're a big inspiration to me. So I want to ask you first off, because

your house is pretty much a classic ocean liner. What was the thought process behind thinking, I'm going to turn

my house into a cruise ship? It goes way back. I mean, my wanting to own things from ships,

you know, ever since I was a kid, any piece of a ship, if I would go visit a ship, I would love
