It was a great moment for the port, and for those of us who live here, to see the ship arrive and to know this is her home port. The ship is 150,000 tons, about twice as large as the Queen Elizabeth 2. The first four shots were taken in atrocious weather conditions with driving rain and heavy mist, not that you would know it thanks to Photoshop! Unless you have lived your life in a port like Southampton which has been home for the transatlantic trade for the last century, and saw the Titanic sail, you will never understand the emotions involved. I have posted a number of photos of her at http://www.leica-gallery.net/gwpics/folder-6016.html for those who want to see. I regret that these were not taken with a Leica, but are posted for common interest.
