Hi Mark, thank you. I just happened to be in the right place, at the right time, on a Japanese Public Holiday - Foundation Day- and the shipyard was empty. I had free reign in the shipyard, but failed to take more photos, despite going on board this one.
How many of us now wish Digital photography had been invented when we were at sea?
Oh, the missed opportunities..
Regards, Rick
