Doulos


Went on board the ship 'Doulos' today, which means 'Servant' in Greek. The 90-year old vessel is currently docked at the VivoCity Berth at HarbourFront, and has sailed the globe with its international crew, performing humanitarian work and spreading the gospel.
The main attraction on the ship is a quaint bookstore which stocks a variety of titles, and we spent almost an hour browsing through the books there. Also spent some time wandering around the deck and took the above photo, which shows 4 WCs (Water Closets) located side-by-side.
The crew were friendly, and a number of them were involved in running the bookstore. However, did not have the opportunity to view the ship's interior, as it probably houses the living quarters of the missionaries.
On the whole, enjoyed the visit to the ship, and would recommend it to anyone who happens to be at VivoCity this weekend.
