Ship Enthusiasts.
I know from personal observations made over many years that there is tremendous interest on the part of ship enthusiasts in the movement of all types of ships and vessels into and out of the Port of Southampton. This image which was captured in May 2016 illustrates this point perfectly as can be seen from the large number of small boats that were present to witness the then new Royal Caribbean Cruise ship Harmony of the Seas depart the Port of Southampton at the commencement of her Maiden Cruise. I captured this image from the upper deck of the Blue Funnel excursion cruise ship Ocean Scene using a Panasonic DMC-FZ1000 Bridge Camera. This image shows Harmony of the Seas leaving her berth in Southampton's Western Docks prior to executing a 180 degree turn in the Upper Turning Ground before heading down Southampton Water for the English Channel and the Mediterranean. I did not know before that day that Royal Caribbean only ever embark and disembark their passengers and crews from their cruise ship's Starboard (Right hand) side.
