sfred Posted September 8, 2020 #502 Share Posted September 8, 2020 Hi everyone. Here are my two contributions for the day. Pre-refit QV at anchor, and QE at dock. Both maiden calls to very small places. A hint on QV - it is the same part of the world as a recent bluemarble post. sf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Host Hattie Posted September 8, 2020 Author #504 Share Posted September 8, 2020 @sfred I'm guessing Kangaroo Island for Queen Victoria. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluemarble Posted September 8, 2020 #505 Share Posted September 8, 2020 Oh, good. Glad to see this QE photo of @sfred's was still available for me to work on this morning. This one is Kodiak, Alaska. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Host Hattie Posted September 8, 2020 Author #506 Share Posted September 8, 2020 I think we've had this port before but I don't think I've posted this photograph (if I have it'll go quickly !) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is QM2 approaching the port. If a hint is needed, I don't think we've posted anything from this country on this thread yet. This one is still unsolved, I think.

Host Hattie correctly identified that one (and the subsequent departure shot) as Adelaide yesterday, per these posts. On 9/7/2020 at 9:19 AM, Host Hattie said: I'm going to guess that's Adelaide On 9/7/2020 at 9:36 AM, bluemarble said: Correct. That's the webcam at Outer Harbor at the port of Adelaide, South Australia as seen in February 2012. Checking itineraries, that would have been QM2's third visit to Adelaide. I'm kind of surprised to see they don't use the British spelling "Harbour" rather than "Harbor". I think one that's yet to be solved is this one from sogne, along with his follow-up clues.

sfred Posted September 8, 2020 #516 Share Posted September 8, 2020 Host Hattie is correct on Kangaroo Island. Photo taken from the B23 road on the hill leading down to Penneshaw, during QV's 2016 world voyage segment in Australia. It was QV's maiden call to Kangaroo Island. Bluemarble is also correct on Kodiak Alaska. Photo taken during QE's 2019 voyage to Alaska. Kodiak was our first Alaska port after the transpacific crossing from Japan, and was QE's maiden call at this port. Well done to both! sf 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bluemarble Posted September 8, 2020 #518 Share Posted September 8, 2020 @sogne, I've got it now. That's Oporto, or more specifically its port of Leixões. I was able to match the refinery stacks, the lighthouse, and other buildings in your second photo to online photos of the shoreline north of Oporto. Didn't have to refer to anything about football.

bluemarble Posted September 9, 2020 #519 Share Posted September 9, 2020 Oops! Another thing that leads to Oporto is that the latest attachments are named "Leixoes Arrival (2).JPG" and "Leixoes Departure (4).JPG". I think one thing that threw off my earlier investigations is that Oporto/Leixões now has a fancy cruise terminal which was apparently opened in 2015 (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Porto_Leixões_Cruise_Terminal). According to the itineraries I have, those photos would have been from either the 2011 or 2012 Christmas cruise. I imagine the cruise ship berths looked a bit different back then.

The port was fairly clear from your description, but I hadn't been able to figure out where specifically that photo was taken. I had been trying to work out the angle from nearby hotels without success. Thanks for the update. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
