Great shot of a grand old liner.

person

CG and Trygve many thanks for your comments, Especially Trygve "the elegant way she cut through the sea" Cheers

person

Very nice picture and a beautiful ship, even though I as a Norwegian think of her in the Norwegian America Lines days. I see she has some speed, but her bow cuts the sea in an elegant way, without making unnessesary waves. This is great.

person

Thank you Clyde, during the 80's this was my favourite location to photograph ships.

person

Tony, That's an excellent shot from North Head including the placement of the Macquarie Lighthouse

person

Tony, quite apart from the funnel colours yes, she was a great-looking ship. I went aboard her once when she was still with Norwegian America Line, before they had added the top deck structures, then several years later I sailed aboard her twice on world cruise segments when she was Saga Rose. She was one of the finest ships on which I have ever sailed.

person

Thanks Clive and Mr.DOT. Cunard funnel colour red certainly stands out. To me she was always a great looking ship.

person

Yes Mr. DOT I agree, there was something not quite right about the Cunard funnel colours on Sagafjord. The overall shape of the funnel was far more suited to being painted in a pale colour; the black top appears to compress the funnel and the two black bands are not in line with the black top - so the whole combination looks awkward. Obviously, had those bands been in line with the black top then there would have been the vents in the forward part of the funnel to contend with, even so it was still an unsatisfactory way of painting the funnel. Still, I'd put up with that if we could have her back again.

person

Somehow she didn't look rite in that livery, but a nice pic, but upper deck hardly looks as horific as today's epec monstrocities! mrdot.
