Diamond Princess Photo

Photographer’s Note

On 3rd March 2009, the Diamond Princess, at 115,000 tonnes and over 950' in length, became the largest cruise ship to berth inside the Port of Fremantle. This beautiful ship can accommodate almost 3,900 passengers and crew at full capacity, and was built at a cost of approx. US$500 million. The ship was accompanied by two large tug boats, but was able to turn around inside the narrow harbour and berth alongside the International Passenger Terminal almost unaided - very impressive!

Hey Jeff,
I was wondering when this shot was going to see the light of day.
It is a cracker mate, one to be proud of.
regards
Pete

Hello Jeff, this is an excellent capture of the Princess, especially with the large post. I saw this one in Sydney a couple of years ago, but didn't capture a shot like this one of her. I'm guessing this was just after arrival, they haven't posted the keep back sign yet and you have people standing up top. Timing on this one is very good. I had a look at the workshop as well, this too is done very well and could easily have stood on its own.

Thanks, John

Hi Jeff,
These are indeed impressive vessels - we very much enjoyed our voyage on one like this a month ago. I see it took a panorama perspective to get it all in one frame...Nice work and TFs. Gerald
