Another rare (for me) shot of a K-Line Vessel.
Enchantment of the Seas
RCCL’s Enchantment of the Seas Rounding Georges Island to tie up at pier 22.
Cruise ships will sometimes round the island on arrival or departure to give passengers a view of the city (and to show off the boat to locals). Yesterdays departure of Carnival Glory was different – though she was docked facing the inner harbour, she backed out of her birth, and turned in anchorage 1 – just as you would backing out of your driveway at home.
SwellMaster and Atlantic Chestnut.
Harbour Development’s (An Irving company) Tug Swellmaster returned to Halifax with the Atlantic Chestnut in tow. Atlantic Chestnut is a St John NB based workboat, assigned to Atlantic Towing, which is also an Irving company – Older Atlantic Towing equipment seems to get passed on to Harbour Development and is Often found tied up at Pier 7, which can be found between Pier 9 and Halifax Shipyard.
Carnival Glory
Having a much better day then Saturdays visit of Caribbean Princess the Who departed in thick fog.
HMCS Sackville now at Sackville Landing
Canada’s Naval memorial is now back in place at Sackville Landing.
Corvettes were built Cheaply, and meant to last only a few years, as such preserving her is proving to be a difficult task, and Repairs are clearly visible (note the Welded plates, Corvettes were constructed entirely of rivets)
