    Here is a view of the QE2 in Dry Dock in DUBAI last year after being sold to Nakheel.
    She is still there and never moved after 18 months. What a waste.

    Another Charles Dixon study,this one is entitled "Off Blackwall",a water colour inscribed and dated !911. This is the London river in the upper reaches, it was then the busiest seaport in the Empireand we can see that sail still predominates. The river is alive with traffic,

    The Samskip Pioneer arriving in Dublin



    The Elbtrader

    Great pictures guys. Shame about the QE2 Captain. What's likely to happen to her? I remember the Thames being busy around that part of the river Brian. Not with sailing ships though.

    Keep putting you photos up SS. I've never been to Dublin.

    Neither had I, only had 3 or so hours of sight-seeing in the evening, and didn't have a map, so missed lots of things. Check out the link in my signature for the couple of hundred I took

    Sorry but I lied. I found it on the net, but I was being truthful about it being my first ship.

    Nothing wrong with the photo. Scouse. You've caught the moment in an afternoon setting (please don't say morning) and they certainly aren't boring.

    Nice one.

    Haven't we all at some time. Politicians do it all the time.

    But it is a good pic. Might claim it myself now that it's an orphan;-)
