My former Coastie friend served on the USCGC Taney before she was retired. He bragged that she was already at GQ when the first Zeros zoomed in on Pearl.

Now on display in Baltimore.

Has she dropped some lines?

I  still see stern lines attached from the Symphony's Bridge cam.  I also see the white truck.

Btw, a bit more trivia; Holland America Line operated Victory-class ship "Groote Beer" (constellation) as an immigrant ship in the fifties

Nieuw A looking good.  Don't bump That Crystal ship!  One of your fans is watching!

Is that the SS United States in your avatar?

[Scrapnana]

Not a whole lot of people out on deck for sail-away.

[St Pete Cruiser]

It is suppose to be the Queen Elizabeth with the Queen Mary behind in Southampton a few years ago!  Stephen Card told me so!

From the view I got on Symphony's webcam, she would have needed to back up quite a bit to hit her.  Not a bit worried about Nieuw Amsterdam.  If it was a Celebrity ship I'd be more concerned.

Early toots.

[rafinmd]

Wow!  Nice toots Nieuw Amsterdam.

Nice bit of toetering by Capt. Edward van Zaane, her original "take-out captain"

 

[lka1012]

Take out captain, does that mean I can bring him home with me?

[Scrapnana]

That's all for me.  Until Wednesday...

Yeah, but you have to go through the drive-through first 

[St Pete Cruiser]

Now there is a captain who is proud of his ship.  Great toots!

[Happily@Sea]

See you tomorrow for Rottie at Key West or back here on Wednesday for Zuidy. 

[lka1012]

That's it for me

[Copper10-8]

Adios amigos y amigas!

[VMax1700]

a luego!

Hi Roy,  Are you stay there?  Crystal still there.  Where is she going?
