Error in Article

The article contains the following with an error: "Ile de Beaute was transferred to Société Nationale Maritime Corse Méditerranée (SNCM), but was eventually sold to Eastern Gulf, Inc. due to its small size for the fleet. Eastern Gulf, Inc. renamed the Ile de Beaute as the Grand Flotel converted for hotel use in Sharjah, United Arab Emirates in 1977.

In 1979, she was sold to Amar Line, a joint venture between the Monaco-based Vlasov Group and the Saudi entrepreneur Gaith Pharaon. She was renamed Saudi Moon I and entered service between Jeddah and Suez."

And also in the sidebar: "1973-1976: CTGM 1976-1977: SNCM 1977: Eastern Gulf, Inc. 1978-1984: Amar Line 1984-1988: Sabah Maritime Services Co."

This actually contradicts the main text. The problem is, I personally rode the Saudi Moon 1, this very ship, as identified by its picture, from Jiddah, Saudi Arabia, to Suez, Egypt, on 6 August 1976, so she must have already been acquired by the Amar Line before that date. I suggest the article be revised to reflect this fact.LCalpurniusPiso (talk) 22:10, 22 June 2019 (UTC)Reply
