Great shot of a beautiful ship! The taller funnels add to her poise and profile.

I have been told she was mistaken as being the Queen Elizabeth by the Germans having a similar silhouette to her.
I met the captain's tiger a few years back and he told me of the time she was sunk by the Germans and how they abandon her with tears in their eyes. She must have been some ship.
