Can you give us a hint? The buildings appear to be hotels, but I can't find identifiable markings. I've also tried google map satellite views of several places, but can't match the configuration. I also wondered if maybe it was a new ship concept that Cunard was trying out, with a Cunard red funnel welded to the top of an undifferentated rectangular box of balcony cabins. 😁 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's a very creative solution and not one I had come up on my own. Well played. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluemarble Posted October 29, 2020 #1381 Share Posted October 29, 2020 3 hours ago, sfred said: Bluemarble's original challenge only required that one of the current Cunard fleet "visited" the port. He did not specify that the ship had to embark or disembark passengers. As a result, QE's unfortunate stay back in late March and early April in the industrial port of Gladstone, Queensland, Australia appears to qualify. QE laid up there at anchor at the beginning of the virus pause in operations, hoping that the pause might be short enough to enable a resumption of the 2020 schedule in Australia. When that didn't work out, QE went to Manila for a longer wait, and then eventually back to the UK. Very good. That's the port I was referring to in my last post where I mentioned a port call that "occurred after the unfortunate events of mid-March this year."
