The relevance is that now is that the word 'Leica' appeared from a boat named as such. Perhaps the owner's business went from strength to strength and he's currently ended up with something larger! Jem - -----Original Message----- From: Gwpics@aol.com [SMTP:Gwpics@aol.com] Whilst driving through my home town (Southampton) yesterday afternoon I noticed a new cruise liner coming into dock complete with fire tugs playing fountains etc. It had a black hull and a silvery upper section. So what, you may ask! When I checked on its name in the paper last night it is named 'R8'. This is the first time I have ever known a cruise liner with such a name (usually 'Monarch of the Seas' or similar are more common). Is this the ultimate promotional activity from Leica? I hope to go down today and get a photo of it for my Leica 'collection'. Gerry Gerry Walden (UK) Tel: (0)23 8046 3076 Fax: (0)23 8034 8542
