Yes, Seaway, "Seen-from-above" used to be the norm for many years, such firms as "Skyfotos" of Kent if I recall, used to be leaders in that field. I suppose it's mainly for Corporate publicity shots these days.
(Not that the sad state of Malaysia here would impress many!)

Good deck shot, something that often lacks in these older more interesting (for some) photographs.

A sad end-of-life use for a distinguished vessel.An insult.
