Nice one guys.
just like the London River in the early 50s.
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,

Here's a few I took the other day
A lighthouse ship that reminded me of the one in Liverpool, thought it was at first.

Sorry if I've bored ya. There's a couple more in my dublin flickr if ya wanna see them :)
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 :)
Nice one SS.Quote:
