There is always something going on on the Elbe.

Hello, I don't know if I'm in the right place to post this. As you know, I come from Germany, more precisely Northern Germany, even more precisely Lower Saxony from Stade, near Hamburg. We live about 10 km from a river called the Elbe. We, that is, my partner and I, love to walk on the dike and watch the many ships from all over the world that come to or from Hamburg. The Elbe is perhaps 1 km wide at Stade, perfect for looking at ships and taking photos. Here I have a little foretaste, I would like to post more if there is interest.
If possible, I try to include the name and some key information about the ship. Unfortunately it doesn't always work.

The first ship is the "HIJAZ"
Length: 291 m
Width: 32 m.

Unfortunately the second one was too far
away.

I like your photos, there are many different types of ships and several bits of details that can be used in modelling. I would vote for continued posts. Maybe sorted into the different types.
 
Hello, I'm glad if you like the pictures. I will be happy to post more pictures and I will try to sort the pictures a little if I can say which type of ship the ship pictured fits. I hope I don't post too many duplicate pictures. Because I still have tons of photos.

Theme......Cruise Ship.

Yes, “Mein Schiff” took us on a cruise to the Canary Islands. I'll have to take a look, I should also have pictures of the inside of the ship.
 
This like a time warp into the 19th century!
Thanks for posting these. A real treat!
 
Compared to the older ships the modern cruisers look like container villages or fallen skyscrapers.
Ugly in my opinion.
But its a matter of taste........
The QE2 is a borderline case, just elegant but not quite.
Great pictures!
