When the ship comes in

This weekend is Bristol harbour festival and I enjoyed an afternoon of sunshine (I got a bit sunburt too), live jazz and relax along the riverside. It was so busy.

This is a picture of the SS Great Britain which was sailing along the river for the occasion. Designed by Brunel and lunched ion 1843, it was the first ocean-going ship to have an iron hull and a screw propeller and the biggest at the time.

I think it looks awesome!

"Oh the time will come up
When the winds will stop
And the breeze will cease to be a'breathin'
Like the stillness in the wind
Before the hurricane begins
The hour when the ship comes in"

When the ship comes in - Bob Dylan
