That is a nice photograph. I like the light, the atmosphere, the background - everything. Lovely!

Bit of history there too, I believe.

Wonderful lighting, Harry. And it looks like a ship--not like those modern monstrosities. Very nicely done.

Thanks Ron, yes when she was MV STOCKHOLM she had a collision with SS ANDREA DORIA in 1956 off the coast of Nantucket resulting in SS ANDREA DORIA sinking.

Thanks Nick, totally agree modern cruise ships look like a barge with a block of flats built on them......no lines at all.
