For various reasons I have been unable to visit Calshot Southampton as often as I might have wished during 2023. As a result my collection of ship images has not grown very much in number during the year. I was delighted to break this trend on the 6th of October and this image is amongst the ones I captured during a relatively quiet photographic session. I might be wrong, but it seemed to me that the small private fishing boat in the image had the misfortune to break down in the middle of the shipping channel in Southampton Water at a time when the 76299 Gross Ton Vehicles Carrier Orion Highway was inbound for the Port. Fortunately the ABP Vessel Spitfire that was escorting Orion Highway but a little way ahead of her was able to assist the fisherman by attaching a line to his boat and move him out of harms way. The image which was captured from the Moat Wall of Calshot Castle, shows Spitfire and the towed fishing boat to the side of the navigation channel as Orion Highway passed by.
