Star Clipper cruise vessel to visit Montserrat

Wednesday, December 1, 2004

BRADES, Montserrat: Officials at the Montserrat Tourist Board are gearing for the visit on Thursday of the 'Star Clipper' with 130 tourists.

The boat, carrying German visitors, is scheduled to dock at Port Little Bay at 10.30 a.m.

Tourist Board officials will be on hand at the port to welcome the visitors.

Last year, the Star Clipper with scores of tourists from Europe and North America also visited Montserrat.

It is expected that the visitors will be taken on sightseeing trips near the abandoned capital Plymouth - virtually buried in volcanic ash and rubble from the Soufriere Hills volcano which erupted in July 1995 after being quiet for well over 300 years.
