Ein wunderschönes Gedicht, das unseren Schiffnamen erklärt. ELDORADO heisst ja Paradies. Und wir waren dem Paradies ganz nah auf unserer siebenjährigen Weltumsegelung.
ELDORADO
by Edgar Allan Poe
Gaily Bedight a galant knight in sunshine and in shadow. Had journied long singing a song in search of Eldorado.
But he grew old this knight so bold and o’re his heart a shadow. Fell, as he found no spot of ground that looked like Eldorado.
And as his strength failed him at lenght he met a pilgrim shadow. Shadow, said he, where can it be this land of Eldorado ?
Over the mountains of the moon through the valley of the shadow. Ride, boldly, ride! the shade replied if you search for Eldorado
