New Britannia Photos

Photos of Britannia, possibly the best I have seen. They show her coming back into port from her sea trials.

Some good pictures there but, to me, she is not an attractive ship and I have to admit the on some of those pictures the "block of flats" analogy seems quite apt.

No more than any other I suppose even Oriana and Aurora look like that from some angles.

I like the two funnel look.

I have never particularly like the shape of Oceana.

Not an attractive ship from the outside, but for those that cruise on her, they won't have to look at the outside very often.

Hugely unattractive, imo, especially the head-on shots. Better inside, with any luck.

Cool ... I agree, not the most attractive of ships but I like the double funnel ... and you don't look at the hearth when poking the fire :)

I agree the head on shots make her look very ugly and quite top heavy, however in the full length side on photos I think she looks quite smart.

I agree, and the Union Flag on the hull looks striking

You need to photograph this ship from the right angle
the pics head on to the bow and stern make it look like a container ship,
but then you sail on/in her not following her.
