Excellent, thanks for sharing.

Those are nice quality pictures. Is your camera a simple point and
shoot?
I'm a little surprised at how "stealthy" they made the basic shape of
the superstructure on this research ship. But then, why not, since it
shouldn't add much expense. That bell doesn't look stealthy though...

Hi John,
It was actually a Kodak digital.
I took them at medium rez as it was day one of a three day visit and so
needed to conserve space on my memory card as much as possible !!
Know what you mean about the bell though ;-)
BTW...in the mess aboard Triton, I also managed to find a nice little bar,
selling such stuff as "CSB" (Courage Sparkling Bitter), but didn't try to
get a pint...that was maybe taking things a bit far !!!!

That takes me back... CSB is a very creditable attempt at a long life
bitter which can cope with being thrown around the 'oggin for a few
months. It's actually really rather drinkable... At least it seems that
way when the alternative is tea with millac. Pass me a horses neck
someone...
Digital is good! You don't lose any quality when you transfer it to the
computer. I just bought my wife a digital camera for Christmas, and will have
to borrow it for my next ship tour.
Thanks again for the pictures.
