COMMENT THIS PHOTO(18)

comment
Yes, the Viking Grace is an innovative design, and a cruise ferry of reasonable size. It is well written up in the "Significant Ships of 2013" book that was recently published by the R.I.N.A.
There is a sister ship to M.S.3 being built - Mein Schiff 4 to be delivered late next year from STX Turku, and no doubt many of us will be looking out for photos during the build and at launch.

Actually there was one new build in Turku in between this Mein Schiff 3 and Allure; M/S Viking Grace. Not a large ship, but an innovative design. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Viking_Grace

And thanks for the additional info which had escaped my attention as I wrote my first comment. Indeed, almost 4 years since a big cruise ship was built a Turku...
So she's an interesting ship that way, too!
Kind regards,
Jens

There is a lot of interest in these new cruise ships being built in the STX Turku yard from people worldwide. I presume this is the 1st one since the "Allure of the Seas" was launched a couple of years .
Kenneth, Folke and Aleksi have all produced a nice series of photos in recent days, as they always do when there is enough sun and light.
Kind Regards,
Nigel.

I did not say you did, I said, most probably it has to do with that
a link can also be from the outside, for example someone uses your picture in another forum and links it.
Unquote
I think the latter is the case, the photo was linked to from another website.
And why not?
I think many people have an interest in this ship. She must be the biggest newly built passenger vessel to enter service for a German owner since MS Deutschland in 1998.
Anyway, I'm looking forward to her first call here at Hamburg on June 1 and her naming ceremony on June 11. :-)
Abnd Kenneth, nice photo!
Cheers, Jens

(And it's definitely waaaaay better than the first photo of Triple E posted here.) ;)
The question is whether the site benefits from this avalanche of views.

I just posted a picture, as hundreds of times before :) That is all. I did not link the photo anywhere else as you, Captain Ted, suggest. Perhaps this question should be directed to the administration, maybe there is a failure on the site? The number of views in such a short time period is surprising me too.
Kind regards,
Kenneth

No excuse needed, go to the Forum and read my thread on it.
