history
The ship was built under hull number 242 at the Atlantic Marine shipyard in Jacksonville , Florida for American Classic Voyages . The keel was laid in August 1999, the launch on June 2, 2000. The ship was delivered to the shipping company on April 12, 2001. The cost of building the ship was estimated at $ 37 million and ended up being $ 37.9 million. American Classic Voyages put the ship, christened on April 25, 2001 in Alexandria and named after the lighthouse at the southern tip of New Jersey , into service on May 5, 2001. The shipping company wanted to use the ship, the shape of which is said to be reminiscent of the package ships of the late 19th century, on the Great Lakes in summer, along the US east coast in spring and autumn and in the Caribbean in the winter months , but only reported a few months later the delivery of the ship in October 2001 bankruptcy. The ship was in Green Cove Springs on St. Johns River launched . In June 2008 the Maritime Administration of the US Department of Transportation sold the ship together with the sister ship Cape Cod Light for a total of 18 million US dollars.
In 2010 the ship was used together with the Ola Esmeralda in the port of Port-au-Prince in Haiti as a hotel ship for UN employees who were used there for reconstruction as a result of the earthquake in January .
In November 2011, the ship served as accommodation for 240 students from St. Mary's College of Maryland in St. Marys City after their dormitory was closed due to mold. In December 2011 it was launched in Charleston.
In 2015, the ship was used as the Saint Laurent by the cruise line Haimark Line for cruises on the Great Lakes and the St. Lawrence River as well as to Cuba. In June of that year, the ship collided with a lock wall on the St. Lawrence Seaway and had to be repaired. The cruise line filed for bankruptcy in October 2015 and named the failure of the ship as one of the reasons. Since July 2016 the ship has been operating as Victory I for Victory Cruise Lines, which it operates in the same trading area as Haimark Line.
At times the ship was also used by Comfort at Sea as a hotel ship for the construction of offshore wind farms .
