Transport time can vary. I always like to track my cars on the ship via satellite. Then you will know when it shows up at port.

Thanks man. That was helpful.

Where was it built? My SA 340ix took about 6-7 weeks, I tracked it all the way from SA to Georgia. You should be able to track as well.

There are lots of sights that will allow you to track the ship by name. The issue is that it's tough to know the itinerary of the ship, so it may make a lot more stops than you think. You can also check the website of your port of entry, and they may have a schedule of the ships and when they are arriving. This may change, as it did in my case. My ship from SA made the following stops before getting to Port Hueneme in CA:

--Angola
--Spain
--Belgium
--Germany
--Newark
--Georgia
--Jacksonville
--Panama
--Nicaragua
--Honduras
--Long Beach
--Port Hueneme

Depends on the number of stops but I would say 12 days to NY from Bremerhaven

Track the boat on the willenius site, it will give you the estimated arrival date.

My 440 GC got built Monday and is heading to Bremerhaven now, you never know they could be on the same boat! Mine will get off in Halifax a couple days before yours arrives in NY though.

Ps, nice looking build.

Hey, why do they call the Montreal hockey club Canadiens instead of Canadians?

The bigger question is why they are also called les habitants

Go Leafs Go!!!

Hi - presumably this has been answered for you already, but if not: Canadiens is obviously the French spelling. In fact at one point Les Habitants were able to select any 2 players from the province of Quebec (which I had first learned about in Rod Gilbert's autobiography from many years back as I grew up a Rangers fan -- sorry) and as I started this post was going to mention this contributed to their NHL dominance for many years. However in attempting to confirm this through the wonders of the internet just now learned this was probably untrue:

So thanks much for prompting me to correct the mostly worthless trivia I've somehow collected over the years as I peruse this forum seeking even more trivia!

Oh, and Canadian eh! - wishing you all the best in the new year with your new addition, eh!
