A ship I had a couple of great cruises on, seen departing for pastures new tonight. The former CMV cruise ship MAGELLAN is seen as she leaves Tilbury, having been sold to Greek owners-next stop Gibraltar, then on to Piraeus.

An early, 0400 start in Falmouth for SCOTT as we move into dry dock. Word of the day being teamwork with a great effort from the ship’s company and @apgroupuk to achieve a smooth entry. @RoyalNavy @CornwallLive @FalmouthTownUK #RoyalNavy
