The Night from April 15 to 16, 2005 (Photos:
Antoine Barbey, 2. Captain)
This happened on the cruise prior to our cruise.
A severe storm hit the Matisse in the night of the
15th of April 2005 between Norfolk and Savannah (USA).
According the 2. Captain Antoine Barbey the vessel
rolled sideways up to 37° which caused serious
destruction on board.
Thanks Antoine for the photos.
