If you have a website or blog, you can now add picture feeds of ShipWatcher photos that continually update every few hours, so that you have frequently changing images to show on your site.
They’re available via Google Gadgets here.
Video: QE2 Final Transit of Panama Canal
Here’s a timelapse video of QE2 transitting the Panama Canal for the last time.
What a wonderful ship!
Webcam Removed: Pacific Star
It’s pretty obvious that Pacific Star’s webcam is no longer being updated, so I’ve removed it from the list of available webcams.
New Webcam: Ventura
I’ve added P&O’s new cruise ship, Ventura, to ShipWatcher.
To see her, click on [Preferences] and select “Ventura” from the “P & O” section.
I don’t have her Call Sign yet. If anyone knows it, please let me know as it will enable us to track her location.
Star Princess in the Falklands
Here’s a video of Star Princess on her visit to Stanley in the Falklands last week. It looks like a beautiful part of the world…
Problems with Costa Webcams (FIXED!)
Costa Cruises appears to be changing their webcams, so it’s difficult to get pictures from any of their ships at the moment.
We’ll get more pictures from them once they’ve finished reorganizing their website.
Sorry – but I have no idea how long it will take.
UPDATE: Costa’s webcams now are working again.
Slow webpages fixed
Most of my webpages have been loading slowly over the last few days because of a bug in one of the components I use.
I’ve finally tracked down what was causing the slowness, so it should all load a lot faster now.
Sorry for the delay!
Pacific Star – Final Voyage
She has finished her service with P & O and is now in Singapore getting rebadged for her new owners, Pulmantur in Spain.
This is a timelapse video of Pacific Star’s final voyage to Singapore. It covers about nine days starting half-way up the Queensland Coast.
My dear wife says it reminders her of how fast our lives flash by.
Hope you enjoy it.
A Tribute to Ship Pilots
They jump between small boats and ships
Sometimes in the middle of the night
In the middle of the sea
Fair weather or foul
So that we can have fun on our cruise.
This is for those courageous souls who brave the rough conditions while we’re enjoying ourselves.
QE2 and Queen Victoria in Sydney, February 2008
Here’s a video I did of QE2 and QV yesterday, from a composite of webcams around Sydney Harbour.
