Item 5. Other Events.

As previously reported, on October 19, 2001, American Classic Voyages Co. (the “Company”) filed a voluntary petition for bankruptcy protection under Chapter 11 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code (“Chapter 11”) in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware (the “Bankruptcy Court”). On October 22, 2001, all of the Company’s subsidiaries other than Oceanic Ship Co., Project America, Inc., Project America Ship I, Inc. and Project America Ship II, Inc. (the “Non-Filing Subsidiaries”) filed a voluntary petition for bankruptcy protection under Chapter 11 in the Bankruptcy Court. On October 22, 2001, the Non-Filing Subsidiaries ceased all operations and the secured creditor, Holland America Line, took possession of the ms Patriot (the primary asset of Oceanic Ship Co.) in connection with the uncontested foreclosure of its maritime lien on the vessel. All subsidiaries of the Company other than the Non-Filing Subsidiaries are hereinafter referred to as the “Filing Subsidiaries.”

Pursuant to the requirements of the previously disclosed filings under Chapter 11, on November 27, 2002, each of the Company and the Filing Subsidiaries filed a monthly operating report for the month ended October 31, 2002 (an “October 2002 Monthly Operating Report,” and collectively, the “Reports”) with the U.S. Trustee Office.

The financial data included in the Reports is not audited. The Reports are in a format prescribed by applicable bankruptcy laws. There can be no assurance that, from the perspective of an investor or potential investor in the Company’s securities, the Reports are complete or presented on a basis consistent with the Company’s previous periodic filings. The Reports also contain information for periods different from those required in the Company’s reports pursuant to the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (“the Exchange Act”). This information might not be indicative of the Company’s financial condition or operating results for the period that would be reflected in the Company’s financial statements or in its reports pursuant to the Exchange Act. Results set forth in any of the Reports should not be viewed as indicative of future results.

Copies of the Reports filed by each of the Company and the Filing Subsidiaries on November 27, 2002, are attached as Exhibits 99.1 through Exhibit 99.20 hereto.(1)
