Campbells Cove, tall ship, Southern Swan

The Southern Swan is the tall ship docked at Campbells Cove wharf at The Rocks, preparing to sail on Sydney Harbour, while a cruise ship is docked at the Overseas Passenger Terminal.

  1. Terrific contrast. Love the composition of the image.

    We recently had the same experience seeing the Norwegian Christian Radich docked in St. Maarten, Dutch West Indies, next to the cruise ship Freedom of the Seas. Quite a comparison!

    1. Agreed.. Terrific contrast!
      I am full of admiration for people who go to sea in the tall ships, but my personal preference is for a luxury cruise ship :)
