This image of the Royal Research Ship (RSS) James Cook was captured from the deck the the Red Funnel Car Ferry Red Falcoln today (6th June 2019). She had departed Southampton just prior to my ferry so I was able to capture this and other images of her stern as she sailed down Southampton Water. She is registered in London, has a displacement of 5800 Tons and is operated by the National Oceanography Centre based in Southampton. I have no idea as to her destination.
