Silver Cloud at Southampton (1) - 9 June 2013

Although Royal Princess should have been in the limelight on its inaugural visit to Southampton, it was not well positioned for a photograph and I preferred to concentrate on Silversea's Silver Cloud which had arrived from Cherbourg and would depart to Copenhagen. As you can see, the bunker vessel Whitonia was in attendance so my shot is a record of a typical Southampton scene rather than the intended portrait. The Grimaldi Lines vehicle carrier Grande Italia, a regular visitor, had arrived from Valencia and the P&O Oriana (in the distance) would depart on a Baltic cruise having arrived from Lisbon.
