MS Queen Elizabeth

Porto Baratti, Alessandro Neri. Francesca Neri, Alfredo Neri, Porto Baratti tugboats, Livorno
With a choppy sea four tugboats are waiting at the entrance of the port of Livorno.

Even inside the breakwater the heavy boats are dancing a bit.
Queen Elizabeth cruise ship, IMO 9477438, Livorno
Then the 294-meter “Queen Elizabeth” arrives and the tugboats ease her into port. The Cunard's cruise ship was launched in January 2010 at the Fincantieri shipyard in Monfalcone. In a ceremony held later the same year in Southampton, the ship was christened by Her Majesty the Queen.

    What an exciting sequence with a happy end. From your pictures we can almost feel the tugboats "dancing."
    There is something so endearing about tugboats.

    It is magnificent. It is inspiring to see from ashore. For a cruise, I would prefer a ship with a few thousand fewer people.

    Must have been quite the project to build a ship like that!

    Great images VP, interesting water scenes. I especially love the 3rd photo, probalby because there are beautifl clouds and a beautiful contrast between the "Queen Elizabeth" and the small tugboats.
