A decently long day in St. Kitts meant that I was able to add to my pictures of the arrival of Celebrity Silhouette with shots of her departure in the beautiful evening light. A the end of her latest Southern Caribbean cruise, Silhouette would spend two days at sea to reach Fort Lauderdale. In this last shot in the series, P&O Britannia, bound ultimately for Southampton, is still at the cruise pier. 200_3_P1100200CE

As the much smaller Viking Sea headed for the Commercial Pier, the large occupants of the main cruise pier at Basseterre, St. Kitts, Celebrity Silhouette and P&O Britannia, looked rather fine in the morning light. 200_3_P1100100C

With the P&O Britannia nearly at the pier, the morning light is falling nicely on the ships which will share the main cruise pier at Basseterre, St. Kitts for another beautiful day. Celebrity Silhouette had been moored for some time. Britannia would depart for St. John's, Antigua on the much longer journey to, eventually, Southampton. Silhouette would have a shorter journey to Fort Lauderdale. 200_3_P1100097CE

As daylight takes a hold for another Caribbean day, P&O Britannia, arriving from Philipsburg, completes her docking manoeuvres and joins Celebrity Silhouette at the the main cruise pier at Basseterre, St. Kitts. The cruise ship element of my work is quite intense and intentionally so. With the main objective being to see as many ships as possible in as many ports as possible, I also seek different angles, backgrounds and lighting conditions. The result should be a very thorough record of the world's cruise ships albeit as part of a wider document with many contributors. 200_3_P1100093CE

P&O Britannia arriving at Basseterre, St. Kitts. She was joining Celebrity Silhouette at the main cruise pier as we sailed on to the Commercial Pier. An additional pier is under construction near the existing main cruise pier as the island seeks to improve capacity for cruise ships. Britannia had arrived from Philipsburg and would leave for St. John's Antigua on the long voyage from Castries to Southampton. 200_3_P1100086CE
