That's a very recent capture from QE's call there on October 25th. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sfred Posted October 29, 2023 #4953 Share Posted October 29, 2023 (edited) 6 hours ago, Host Hattie said: Toulon ? I think @Host Hattie is correct, specifically the Tour Royale, a fort commissioned in 1513 by King Louis XII to protect the entrance of the naval port of Toulon. I guess QE was considered a friendly vessel that day. Dubrovnik was another thought I first had when I saw @bluemarble's post The town walls look similar. EDIT: OOPS - sorry, I didn't see the later posts in the new page 199 confirming Toulon. Edited October 29, 2023 by sfred 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bluemarble Posted November 5, 2023 #4960 Share Posted November 5, 2023 Here's a webcam capture of a Cunard ship at a port we've seen before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare NE John Posted November 5, 2023 #4961 Share Posted November 5, 2023 While figuring out where that gorgeous photo is from, a la @bluemarble above, here’s a snapshot of QM2 from a recent (undated) visit to Red Hook. This view is from the loft condos I mentioned a week or so ago. Photo credit to my friend who lives there. This photo is probably the first time QM2 has been seen in Red Hook from this vantage spot. As for today’s challenge, I’ve been somewhat clueless except when container ports are present, and iffy when present…I’ll investigate further. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That image is from QV's recent call there on October 9th. By the time I captured that image, it was getting late in the day. Almost could have qualified as a sunset image for our "Daily sunrise photo" thread. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Host Hattie Posted November 5, 2023 Author #4964 Share Posted November 5, 2023 I've probably posted this before but it seemed appropriate as it was taken on November 5th. I'm not sure there are many clues here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll wait a few more hours to give others a sporting chance at this one. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sfred Posted November 5, 2023 #4967 Share Posted November 5, 2023 I presume "5 November" and "this guy" are references to Guy Fawkes night. But I'm afraid I don't recognise the port. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure of this search result, since the lighting differences make it difficult to compare, but the port appears to correspond to La Coruna, Spain, in Galicia. I’ve never been there, so I have to rely on trying to match characteristics of online photos. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's what I concluded yesterday as well based on where QV (shown in the photo) has been on November 5th over the years. Glad you were able to figure it out. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I trust @Lanky Lad will be by shortly to confirm that's Malaga. I held off on identifying this one since I have a nearly identical webcam capture in my archives showing an early evening view of QV there this past December. To help with the viewpoint, this webcam is identified as from the Gran Hotel Miramar in Malaga. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
