Yacht name: Al Salamah

Finally a shot of the Saudi royal gigayacht Al Salamah - thanks to Thilo !

These photos were taken on a visit to the Lürssen Werft yard in Bremen Vegesack, back in 2001, in the pioneering days of digital cameras - I had a bit of fun with a Hockney style composite with the low res originals.

Al Salamah was back at MWB Bremen, in Bremerhaven, in 2007 - did anyone happen to record the visit ?

Thilo also has a question which had me stumped - I'll post it in the comments.

Even if you subscribe to the comments RSS feed at the bottom of this page, it's sometimes hard to keep track of what's going on in the comments section of the photos on monacoeye. So I thought I'd point you to a dozen or so beautifully rendered illustrations posted by Jose Augusto today:

Dubai • Athena • Ecstasea • Talitha G • Turmoil • Carinthia VII • Atlantide • Blue Moon • Rasselas • Maltese Falcon
