Black Pearl A.K.A SS Puteri Mahsuri

assalamualaikum & hey everybody.. dah lama tak update.. hmm, biasa lah.. bukan rajin sgt nk publish ni.. biasa kat laman facebook ngan twitter je.. kali ni abang nak share about SS Puteri Mahsuri.

life xde la cool sangat as what people think, tapi bagi abang, its quite ok.. tak ramai yang tahu yang kat malaysia ade tall ship. lebih specific, kat Langkawi.. orang tahu Langkawi tempat erlancongan, tapi tak ramai yang dapat naik kapal macam dalam cerita pirates of the carribean tu.. (acah2 cool) 

kapal ni nampak cool, tapi nak maintain coolness tu agak berat la.. bukan ape, disebabkan kapal ni designed of wood and steel, kitorang (the crews) terpaksa kopek kayu tu if rosak and do chipping (ketuk karat) for maintenance.. tu dah satu hal, the biggest problem comes when kayu xde.. terpaksa order from shore & pickup by boat.(sebab supply vessel xde kat kawasan tu)... agak berat kerjanya tapi kitorang (the crews) happy with the life.

kapal ni dah lama sebenarnya.. SS Puteri Mahsuri and adik dari belanda.. namanya, SS Lili Marleene. SS Puteri Mahsuri lebih tua sebab design dia berbanding SS Lili Marleene dengan designnya yang rugged and looks new all the times but they both in the same type of ship.. dengan ini abang lampirkan gambar2 time abang onboard SS Puteri Mahsuri.. ~~~~~>
