WELCOME TO SHIPSPOTTING.COM
Description:
OK - for tonight's Friday night classic, something a little different - not a freighter but a transatlantic liner - and although I admit to not being a particular Francophile, she is one of the most beautiful and perfectly proportioned ships I have had the pleasure of photographing. After my comments on Eurodam's twin uptakes, perhaps Italian ship designers would like to make notes on how to fit two funnels on a liner and make them look as if they are not simply stuck on as an afterthought.
