The ship was late leaving and it wasn't until gone midday that I saw her appear from behind Fawley power station. Unfortunately by this time, the sodding white sails were rapidly multiplying - they don't appear to sail out of Cowes harbour, they just materialise as if by magic - and very considerately parking themselves right in my line of sight (UKSA mostly, I wish they'd go off down the western Solent) as were the clouds. There was a short shower but it has passed by the time the ship was in the main channel.
Seeing her today, it doesn't look as if the superstructure is offset, after all. Maybe it really was an illusion.
Ship facts: IMO number 9454424, built 2010, flag: UK :), 153022 GT.
