Sea Voyages

1975 - 1995


Volker spent 20 years of his life on ships. Here is a quick overview of all the voyages.

We have a more detailed overview, but that one is too large for one page.

Click the buttons below to go to the detailed listings.

African Apprenticeship Years

In the first ten years, there were 15
voyages on 12 different ships.

Nine of the voyages were to ports in
Africa and the Mediterranean Sea.

A Ship Called Home

The next five years I spent on the same ship,
visiting 40 ports on three continents.

M/V Arnstadt really became a
home away from home for me.

Transatlantic Final

The last five years I spent on
five very different ships.

The final voyages took me to
ports on five continents.



Sorry, I haven't gotten around scanning all my 2,000 pictures yet. So, for now, I have borrowed a
number of virtual post cards from the internet, but many of them look just like the ones I took.
