Leaving the harbour on a families day
Opposite the Round tower
Off into the morning sun
Returning with the tugs giving a water cannon salute
Passing the Round Tower
Well wishers on the Round Tower - the families were onboard!
Water cannon salute
Into the history books - poignancy added by the ship graveyard in the background!
