Shipping News and information / Coasters passing through Budapest

« on: November 11, 2017, 10:49:17 PM »

I seem to recall someone posting photos of new coasters passing through Budapest on their way from the shipyard at Komarno to the sea. I cannot now find these images, nor can I recall the name of the photographer. Can anyone help please?

I see that the event has moved to a west coast venue this year. Greenock Town Hall on Saturday, 2 September.

It looks like it is going to be an excellent event. Details here:

Am I alone in wondering about the purpose of having similar photographs? As examples, I offer:

and

Or from the same photographer (at the same port):

and

A look at this photographer's postings shows that such duplication is common. He is certainly not the only one. I can just about understand a bow view, a broadside view and a stern view - but only just understand. But more than one image from almost the same angle is absurd and achieves nothing.
