Host Hattie Posted August 22, 2020 #1 Share Posted August 22, 2020 As the Cunard fleet is stuck rather close to home I thought it would be nice to remember happier times so let's see the ships in port or at anchor & see if we can identify the location. I'll start off, which ship (easy) & where ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Summergee Posted August 22, 2020 #5 Share Posted August 22, 2020 Is it Zakinthos? I remember an open square near the beach. It looks like a tender port with the ship in the bavkground. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Colin_Cameron Posted August 22, 2020 #9 Share Posted August 22, 2020 I know but I'll let it run for a while. I think this one will be a bit trickier. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluemarble Posted August 22, 2020 #10 Share Posted August 22, 2020 8 hours ago, Host Hattie said: How about this one ? My guess is QM2 at Oban, Scotland. It took quite a bit of detective work, but Colin_Cameron's post helped focus my search to Scotland. Then, lo and behold, a google search for "Oban churches" turned up a match for the church in the right of the photo (St Columba's Cathedral). QM2 called at Oban on May 22, 2015, so that's my additional guess as to when the photo was taken. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was the cruise where all three Queens met up on the river Mersey in Liverpool. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks like Queen Elizabeth below Fira, Santorini. With the Ekklisia Agios Minas at the left and the dome of the Church of St John the Theologian in the foreground.

Host Hattie Posted August 23, 2020 Author #16 Share Posted August 23, 2020 Very good @Colin_Cameron, there probably should be bonus points for naming every church in sight ! @DaisyDancer no, looks a bit Norwegian maybe ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
