Thanks Barry. There are cruise ships then there are the Queens.

Took this picture of her in Fremantle Australia, February last year. She had aborted her cruise itinerary due to the start of the Covid problem.
A Majestic sight to see.

Not the best shots last night. I think she was moored at the old Ocean Terminal, where as the other day one of the Queens was moored at birth 100, and the pictures were first class.

Amazing how they manoeuvre unaided. I remember watching the Queen Mary and Elizabeth leave Southampton in the early 60's with lots of tugs heaving this way and that, a real work of art.
