BUSY AT THE DOCKS!

As you can see it was a tad busy down at the Docks this afternoon in Hobart. All 3 vessels below were in dock!

Starting with the MV Orion, who usually travels from Hobart to Antartica. This voyage is 5-star and exclusive, only carrying roughly 100 guests and a crew of 75 - not a bad ratio!

The second image is the HMAS Ballarat who was docked in front of MV Orion. We don't get too many Navy ships here, so they are always interesting to me.

Finally, a regular visitor during summer, the Sapphire Princess. At 952 feet long, she's hard to miss! She can carry up to 2,670 passengers and 1,100 crew!! A beautiful sight to see.
