Aurora.
My dilemma was whether to place this image of the P and O Cruise ship Aurora in the Cruise ship gallery or in the Ports, docks and harbours gallery. In the end I opted for the former choice as much to my surprise I did not have any image of the Aurora in this gallery. The image was captured in August 2018 from the sea wall of Calshot Castle that was build by King Henry the 8th to defend the approach to Southampton. It shows Aurora navigating the Thorne (deep water) channel in the Solent at the commencement of a cruise. The dried out Moat of the Castle can be seen to the right hand side of the image.
