Cobh is a popular previous visit this week as today's Mein Schiff 1 and tomorrow's Caribbean Princess both visited. It was the port that survivors of the RMS Lusitana were brought ashore at, previously known as Queenstown. The Mein Schiff 1 is in the colours of Tui Cruises, the English company Thompsons being in the same group. The name translated means "My Ship". She was launched in 1996.
The anchor is just breaking the surface as Mein Schiff 1 with the pilot on board, and over 2,000 guests prepare to leave Guernsey and sail for Southampton via the Big Russel, between the islands of Herm and Sark.
As the liner sailed the Petite Mel passed by, heading for the fish quay in St Peter Port, after another long day at sea on the fishing grounds. No mistaking the name of the liner!
