>> True Information: Mr. Starkey, Captain of the Apollo in 1972, wrote: “There was no ‘sudden rash of weddings.’ As the Captain of the ship, I was authorized to perform all of the marriages aboard in 1972 and arranged to have them each certified and registered through the Panamanian Consul. There were 5 or 6 marriages that year. I believe there were in excess of 200 officers and crew aboard at the time.”
