While cleaning up the ShipWatcher database I found some great looking photos and thought you might enjoy them.
Thanks to everyone who clicked on the “take photo” button on the ShipWatcher main page to capture these pictures!

VQE2.com displays a virtual webcam of Queen Elizabeth 2, showing images from the webcam of the classic ocean liner from her sailing days up till November 2008. Unfortunately we had a bug where the website was accidentally showing images from the webcam of Cunards newest ship, Queen Elizabeth. The confusion occurred because both ships share the same Call Sign. I’ve fixed the bug, so VQE2 should be working perfectly now. If you’ve never checked it out before, why not take a trip down memory lane and see what QE2 was doing a few years ago!  MS Queen Elizabeth Cunard has a new ship: Queen Elizabeth. I’ve added her webcam to ShipWatcher. Click this link to add her to your favorites. I’ve added new webcams for two of Royal Caribbean’s ships: Oasis of the Seas and Voyager of the Seas. If you’d like to add these ships, just click on “Preferences”, scroll to the bottom of the page, and tick the RCI ships that you want to look at, or click this link to add them to your existing ships. I don’t think the RCI webcams are very exciting. They just show internal views of the ship, and no view of the sea or the horizon is visible at all. But you might enjoy watching some of the people walking around on the deck, waving at the camera. They’re probably thinking to themselves how lucky they are to be on a cruise ship while we’re at home just watching them. I hope you enjoy it! Here’s a timelapse video of Pacific Dawn as she cruised through Fjordland in New Zealand this morning. I was at a restaurant in Sydney yesterday and just happened to see Pacific Jewel leaving port on her maiden voyage for P&O Australia . Here’s a few photos I took with my mobile phone. It was a gloomy day, and I’m sure everyone on board was glad to be heading north into sunnier weather. But any time of year, Milson’s point is a pretty place with some spectacular views – especially if you love ships! Incidentally, you can now see Pacific Jewel’s webcam on Shipwatcher at: Pacific Jewel, (formerly known as Crown Princess, A’Rosa Blu, AIDAblu, Ocean Village Two). I’ve added Ocean Village and Ocean Village 2 to ShipWatcher. They’ll soon be transferred to P&O’s Australian fleet, but by adding them now, you’ll be able to watch them on their final voyages for their current company. You can follow them here:
A Postcard from Dan in Georgia. Dan is a kindred spirit who loves Ships, Airships Old Aircraft and postcards. Thanks for the fantastic postcards, Dan. I’ve sent a couple more in reply. Hindenburg. Much has been written about this amazing airship. You can see some great pictures of the interior and read more about her at Dan’s site: airships.net GRT 20,223 Built by Blohm & Voss of Hamburg in 1928 for Swedish American Line (SAL) she was named “Kungsholm”. She ran on the North Atlantic route between Europe and North America in the 1930′s. She was requisitioned by the US Government during World War II and renamed “John Ericsson”. During the war she operated as a troop carrier and took part in the invasion of Normandy on D-Day in 1944. Sold to Home Lines in 1948, she was refitted and renamed “Italia”. She served until 1964 when she was sold to Freeport Bahama Enterprises who renamed her “Imperial Bahama” and used her as a floating hotel. She was sold for scrap in 1965. This is a Postcard from Dan in Georgia. Dan is a kindred spirit who loves Ships, Airships Old Aircraft and postcards. He runs the AirShips.Net website dedicated to the Hindenburg and other Zeppelins.
