Mein Schiff 1

After a quiet Monday the Mein Schiff 1 arrived from Cobh on one of her regular early summer cruises. It was 99 years ago this month that the Lusitania was sunk after being torpedoed by a German submarine, just outside Queenstown ( now known as Cobh. )  May 7th next year will be the 100th anniversary.


By late afternoon the dull weather of earlier had cleared as the last of the tenders headed back to the ship for  her departure to Southampton, and then Hamburg as part of a round Britain cruise.
