Yes. There is a Cunard ship in this photo.

 

I think this port is Port-Vendres, France.

I know it's only been 8 hours for this but I think we're going to need a clue.

Quebec

 

Yes. I'm running out of Canadian ports that host Cunard ships. I wish there were more calls in Quebec City. Usually there is one a year. Last year there were two as there were supposed to be this year, but next year there is one. Being an optimist we have booked for that departure in 13 months.

Apologies if I've already posted this ....

That looks like Funchal to me.

It is

For those who might want another try at identifying the second ship in my Tortola photo, here's a larger version of that ship to assist with your efforts. I don't think the name is fully legible, but there's probably enough there to help confirm the identification.

anybody up on boat design  will have a head start in identifying the country if not the port

This one is Andalsnes, Norway.

 

Being sadly deficient in any education regarding boat design, it was more helpful for me to track down the "Kaikanten" at the right in your photo. Eventually found one matching your photo that said it was in Andalsnes and then everything fell into place from there to match the rest of your photo to Andalsnes.

... And the ship? (I think Hattie knows)

 

@Host Hattie, I have a hunch @Colin_Cameron might be referring to this previous comment of his about your earlier Arrecife photo.

Two Cunard ships. QM2 (obviously) and Cunard Crown Dynasty ( now Fred Olsen’s Braemar)

Thanks @bluemarble, I was far too slow !

This is an easy one for a Sunday morning

Reykjavik. View from The Pearl.

Well done @bluemarble

 

Found it interesting when years later the captain was asked about his favourite ships. He said that, while nothing compared with being Master of QE2, Crown Dynasty had been the most fun to actually get your hands on the wheel and drive.

Can't work out if it's Marina or Riviera. I don't know enough about them to tell the difference.

perhaps should have used this one  the boats are based on a Colin Archer design who despite his name was Norwegian of Scottish descent  he designed the  first Norwegian sailing lifeboats back about 1890 very successful seaworthy boats

this should be easy seen from the port berth

Good morning! This is a clue: For full points we need ship, port, date and significance.

It is. And the tiny Sea Goddess II.

 

Odd to think now, when Cunard's smallest ships carry 2,000 passengers, that it's not that long since they had ships that carried 116!

OK, I'll give it a wild guess, QE2, Southampton, November 11th 2008, final sailing.

You have got the idea. 

None of these is correct, but indeed a "last" is involved, no Cunard ship has called there ever since.

We've definitely reached Mastermind level now

Of course it is.

with the blue railings it's towards the back of QV or QE.
