Bonita fotografía de todo un vapor clásico. Me recuerda al de la inolvidable película “La reina de África” de Huston, aunque este es más barco.

Keith Burton ^club

Such a delightful scene Roger.............the colour of the water, the ripples and reflections are all quite beautiful. The star of the show of course is that lovely old boat - a proper workhorse!

She seems to be in remarkable condition for her age and has obviously been looked after well. I bet she would have some wonderful stories to tell if she could.

Thanks for the link too..............what an amazing history...........and still more to come!
