Sorry about my little joke Clive. It really is a lovely, evocative photo of a superb looking ship, despite the lemon-yellow.

splendid colour livery on these last Swedish American beauties, no modern amenities, but sure looked great! mrdot.

A combination of late afternoon sun and a print made from a negative that was beginning to lose its correct colour balance. This was as good as I could get it even fiddling with photoshop. Having said all that, the light was very yellow that afternoon/evening.

My word Clive. What a refreshingly cool lemon-yellow colour scheme ;-)
