She will be parked in Dun Laoghaire (off shore) for one day only.

Reminisent of the massive JFK's visit back in 1996?

We're racing tomorrow evening, so hoping to get out a bit early to see her leaving. Might also try to get out during the day.

Should be some sight, she'll nearly fill Scotsman's Bay!

He left a mark on people's memories... the smell off him... quite rotten

I know the boat is there for the day, but is there any exact time given for when it's leaving? Thanks!

1800 apparently - although one article said midnight. But I think 1800 more likely.

A fine example of French heavy industry. Wouldn't mind getting to see those massive Finnish built engines too.

Maybe you could learn something. The last decent boat the Irish built for the QM's owners sunk when it hit a bit of ice.

The only place that clamps in Dun Laoghaire is the actual private land around the harbour, very small area. The rest of the town is just regular pay parking with ticket wardens.

They sometimes waive the parking charges when there are events happening, any chance they'll do that tomorrow?

Getting tetchy Fred?

It wasn't the engineering that sank the Titanic. It was good old hubris. I'm not sure if many of the lads who built it would describe themselves as Irish either.

Draw me like one of you French girls Fred.

Ah go on, you know you want to. :pac:

Ahem that was for the White Star Line the competition to Cunard at the time, and that was an operator error not a design defect
