I got around to scannign in some older shots of ships from my childhood. Here are a few that I thought might be interesting.

First off is the QE2 fresh from her post-Falklands refit, sailing the RI coast in August 1982

Next is the Statendam (1957) arriving in Hamilton Bermuda in 1979

Doric, Veendam, Sagafjord and Volendam in the Great Sound of Bermuda in 1982

Another picture of the Sagafjord of NAC in Bermuda in 1981

One more of the Doric of Home Lines in 1981

One last later one of the Atlantic and Homeric in Hamilton Bermuda in 1986
