Q: Famed 'Love Boat' makes final voyage to scrapyard 
  
 Tucked away in the San Giorgio del Porto shipyard at Genoa, Italy, one of the most important ships in the history of the cruise industry silently awaits its fate. That vessel, now called the Pacific, is fondly known for its 27-year career with Princess Cruises as well as being television’s original “Love Boat.” (Photo: Peter Knego) 
  
 One of the most famous cruise ships of the modern era, the former Pacific Princess, has made a final voyage to a scrapyard in Turkey, Reuters is reporting. 
  
 The news service says the 42-year-old vessel, recognizable to millions of Americans as the "Love Boat" of 1970s television, will be dismantled for its metal and parts. 
  
 Tiny by today's standards, the 19,903-ton, 600-passenger ship has been languishing at a dock in Genoa, Italy for several years. The vessel last sailed for Spanish-based Quail Cruises after changing hands a couple times since sailing for Princess Cruises from 1975 until 2002.

 Built in 1971 for Flagship Cruises as the Sea Venture, the ship was renamed Pacific Princess in 1975 after joining the Princess fleet. It gained worldwide fame over the subsequent decade as the backdrop for ABC's The Love Boat television series, which aired from 1977 to 1986. Take our 'last look' photo tour of the ship's interior. 
  
 Cruise industry executives often credit the top-rated show for igniting a multi-year boom in cruise bookings. Starring Gavin MacLeod as Captain Stubing and Fred Grandy as Gopher, the hour-long comedy depicted fictional passengers and crew involved in adventures and romances at sea. 
  
 A new Pacific Princess joined the Princess fleet in 2002 and continues to sail for the line. The original Pacific Princess' name was changed to Pacific after it left the Princess fleet.

 Called the Pacific Princess when it was on the long-running comedy, the iconic 13,500-tonne, 171-m-long (561-foot-) vessel will be stripped for its metal and parts, said Ersin Ceviker of the Ship Recyclers' Association of Turkey. 
  
 Aaron Spelling's "The Love Boat," starring Gavin MacLeod as the ship's captain, ran on the U.S. television network ABC from 1977 to 1986. The show was set on board the Pacific Princess, which mainly sailed from California to the Mexican Riveria. 
  
 Each week passengers and crew members, caught under the Pacific Princess' romantic spell, engaged in love affairs or humorous encounters during the one-hour show. 
  
 "This ship has undergone several modifications over its lifespan. It had been decommissioned for five years, and renovation now would have been too costly," Ceviker said. 
  
 Turkey's Izmir Ship Recycling Co. acquired the 42-year-old Pacific for 2.5 million euros ($3.3 million). 
  
 The vintage cruiseliner arrived from Genoa, Italy, at the breakers in the seaside town of Aliaga in Turkey late on Tuesday after a difficult trip in a violent storm, Ceviker said. 
  
 The Pacific began taking on water and required the help of additional tugboats to make it to Aliaga. It was now listing on its starboard side at Aliaga.

A: 
A bit of TV history is now in the scrap heap, literally. The cruise ship used in the Love Boat took its last voyage to a Turkish scrapyard to be dismantled for metal and parts, reports Reuters. The 42-year-old Pacific Princess was a star of sorts in the ABC show, which ran from 1977 to 1986. The final journey from Italy wasn't smooth: The ship ran into a storm, took on water, and needed help from tugboats to reach port, all without Captain Stubing. In its day, the Pacific Princess could carry 600 passengers, pretty low compared to the behemoths sailing today that generally carry about 2,000, notes USA Today.
