Oriana is in my opinion the ugliest passenger ship ever built.

person

OK WUKA54, you are entitled to your opinion, though there are many of us that disagree with you and indeed, there are an awful lot of other ships that I would suggest are more worthy of the accolade "ugliest passenger ship."

person

As you were kind enough to point out, this is just my opinion. There is no arguing about tastes. I see no reason why I shouldn't post my own opinion on this ship. They say there are no ugly ships, horses and women. Totally agree about...horses.

person

Designer shortly before completion: ".............. now let me see...where do I put the funnel? Oh, on top of course!"

person

Thank you for your comment MicroSparks, much appreciated. I always enjoy posting photographs of this ship.

person

I love how you keep Oriana alive every time you post a new photo of her from your archives, thank you Tony :)

person

Thanks Clyde, restoring these old negatives brings back nice memories.

person

Another good one Tony
