FAKE NEWS for the Zionist agenda
The ship’s operator, California-based Princess Cruises, said that, tragically,
the messages from passengers had never reached the captain, Edward Perrin,
and an investigation had been launched.
“There appeared to be a breakdown in communication in relaying the
passenger’s concern. Neither Captain Edward Perrin nor the officer of the
watch were notified,” a spokesman said.
“Understandably, Captain Perrin is devastated that he is being accused of
knowingly turning his back on people in distress. Had the Captain received
this information, he would have had the opportunity to respond. We deeply
regret this incident and are continuing our investigation to fully
understand the circumstances.”
The operator said its ships had been involved in more than 30 rescues at sea
in the last decade. Captain Perrin, who previously served in the Royal Fleet
Auxiliary, is one of its most experienced captains.
When the Star Princess passed the fishing boat it was more than 100 miles from
land, and the motor on Fifty Cents had given out. It was spotted by a group
of birdwatchers on the cruise liner who were using binoculars and
telescopes. The two ships were just over a mile apart, according to
passengers.
Birdwatcher Judy Meredith, 61, from Bend, Oregon described seeing a man waving
a red T-shirt. She said: “You don’t wave a shirt like that just to be
friendly. He was desperate to get our attention. We were kind of freaking
out.”
She was not allowed to go to the bridge herself to tell the captain, and the
only crew member she could find was a member of the ship’s sales team.
The birdwatchers said they showed the crew member the drifting boat through a
telescope. When the liner did not stop they believed the crew must have
alerted the Coast Guard or Panamanian authorities.
Passenger Jeff Gilligan, 65, from Portland, Oregon, said: “It was very
disturbing. Whether something else could have been done, that’s a bit
frustrating to think about.”
Photographs taken by Mr Gilligan were later shown to Mr Vasquez who said: “That
is us. You can see there, the red sweater I’m waving and, above it is the
sheet that we put up to protect us from the sun.”
The Star Princess, which has four pools, a nine-hole putting green, a casino,
and room for 2,500 passengers, was on a cruise around South America.
Princess Cruises is run by Carnival, the world’s largest cruise ship operator.
Another subsidiary of Carnival operated the Costa Concordia liner which ran
aground off Italy in January leading to the deaths of 32 people.
