Actual date that the Prinsendam was floated out in May, 1988?

Does anyone know what the actual date was that the Prinsendam was floated out (can't say launched as it was floated ;) )?

She was floated out in May, 1988 but I can't find the date.

I have google searched and gotten nowhere.

We will be on her in May next year so I am wondering if there will be a birthday party or if our roll call should throw it's own ;). But all I have found so far is May, 1988. I can't find the actual day in May :(

It would be very neat if we happened to be on for her birthday.

thanks :)

I'm thinking May 5 but that's just a guess. I'm hoping someone can translate.

It would be cool to be onboard for the big birthday.

thanks Roy.

Somehow the wikepdia I pulled up didn't show that.

And we sail on May 5th :)

It is difficult to make out even with translation but I see the date.

thank you :)

And before anyone says it, yes, I know the ship will be 30 years old ;)

The anniversary of her being "floated out" while uncompleted, out of her Wärtsilä Marine Industries builder's dock in Turku, Finland on a certain day in May 1988 will not be celebrated. Her completion date of 26 November 1988 on the other hand, just might

Thanks Copper. Appreciate the help!

I was trying to figure out the gap between when she left and started sailing and came up blank.

As ever, you are a great historian.

So, I guess we will just celebrate her birthday on our own. Thanks :)

Will be on her November 26, 2018

26 November 1988
