Nice video. It is a shame there was no water salute!

Hi Mersey Shipping, Did you go all the way to Heysham just to get footage of Maxman's first time in port there. Well done. Interesting that the bow area is fully enclosed, reminding me of the QM2. Seems the way some ships are built these days. Great to see a Steam-Packet ship using the name "Manxman" again. I remember traveling to the I-O-M on the old Manxman steamer. Excellent footage. Thank you. (Spoolbox)
