Photographer’s Note

Cherbourg, first great transatlantique harbourg to NYC and others destinations trought the world.
there, it is the transat pier where Queen Elisabeth 1 et 2 stopped, Queen Mary 1 et 2, France ...
Titanic came to Cherbourg but she cannot enter for his short escale. So, passengers were transported to the ship by a shutle, always "in life" actually on the river Seine in Paris.
In the old maritime station, there is now a sea museum. The old passerelle stay alone now...

I was on the schooner Rara Avis far away on quay. As the tide is near 10 m, it was acrobatic to go back on board 6 hours after...

same place in 1981 with Queen Elisabeth II
