Looks small compared to the modern cruise ship behind it. Nice night shot.

That's a different view of it Lenny! Good job.

Did you hear that it's sinking? Or about to sink?

Thanks Jim. Corrosion and many leaks I heard which puts it in danger. Too much money to repair.

Been there a few times for their Brunch Buffet which is very good I say so myself.

Both my father and grandfather worked fitting the Queen Mary out in John Brown's shipyard in the 30's. They also worked on the Queen Elizabeth. Both were woodworkers so wouldn't have a job in today's world of plastic fittings. I lived in Clydebank up until 1976 and used to watch the emerging ships rising high above the houses to the sound of riveting guns and the flash of welding torches. Clydebank built liners, sadly all gone as the river is too small to build the giant cruise ships of today. Ken
