MAXIM GORKIY 2006-01-01 at Funchal

MAXIM GORKIY and ALBATROS in Funchal on 1 January 2006. On that day I was able to shot some of my best MAXIM GORKIY photographs ever. Funchal, Madeira Island is a fantastic spot for cruise shipping photography.

MAXIM GORKIY 1 January 2006

Another two photographs of MAXIM GORKIY leaving Funchal, Madeira Island on 1 January 2006. Her modern classic lines are displayed here in a very pleasant way.
This ship should have been preserved in Hamburg. What a sad end in the Alang beach only three years after those shots were registered. This is in fact a strange world unable to preserve beauty. So we shall continue to remember this ship here...

MAXIM GORKIY berthed in Flam on 22 September 2008 photographed by Raquel Sabino Pereira.
It is hard to believe that this beautiful ship was on the verge of being sold for breaking up in Alang, India.
