    Are they congregating for a world-wide ugly contest? I will say that the Quantum mentioned above leads the pack with the Seashore coming in a very close second!

     

    Not only are they ugly looking,  the names of ships these days  'have no class or style'  imo.

    When my father was at school in the twenties and thirties they had to learn poems -

    In class one day the master got each boy to recite a line but one boy hadn't learned it all and at the critical line his neighbour prompted "Pig sh!t" which he said to much uproar - "Come to the front, bend over"...

     

    Ah! Yes.  I remember those days in the 1950s.

    First time posting to this thread, sold a bike on eBay this evening and offered it drop it off in Wallasey, popped into a pub called the ferry afterwards, noticed a cruise ship over in Liverpool which then departed as we were sat having a drink 

     

    A quick google suggests it’s the emerald princess on a tour of the UK, should have left at 17:00 but departed about 20:30

     

    some poor pics through the window of the pub

    Hi Big Jim.   The ship is a Regent Seven Seas cruise ship.   Most probably Seven Seas Navigator  as it was in the area at thae time.

     

    Lovely pictures all the same.  Thanks for posting.

    …deteriorating climate over several centuries helped them on their way but I’d certainly concur with them finding it no longer worthwhile in such a physically hostile environment.
