B5サイズに鉛筆で描いて水彩絵の具で着色した往年のP&Oの客船 SS CANBERRA（45270t 1961-1997）
少年時代に大さん橋で実物を見たときはそれこそ天を衝く程に巨大な船だった。
今の横浜港でもしDPの隣とかに並んだとしたら「ちっちゃ！」って思うんだろうなぁ

#SSCanberra was an oceanliner, which later operated on cruises, in the P&O fleet from 1961-1997. She was built at Harland & Wolff shipyard in Belfast, Northern Ireland at a cost of £17 million. The ship was named on 17 March 1958, after the federal capital of Australia, Canberra
Just going through some of my non #ssCANBERRA ship photos. Don't even remember taking some of these. #shipsinpics Think this CMA CGM Group ship was at Zeebrugge.
