CMA CGM Magellan

The new CMA CGM Magellan arrived at Southampton this afternoon. She is one of the giant Explorer class ships, with her accommodation block located towards the front of the ship. It seemed if the accommodation is offset to the starboard side, aircraft-carrier-like, which looks a bit odd; I thought it was an illusion caused by the angle I was seeing her at as she entered the Solent but, looking at photos on the net, this is actually how it is and not an illusion.

I missed seeing sister ship CMA CGM Christoph Columb so it was nice to see this one. Unfortunately, the weather is pretty grim and murky today and it showed in the photos - this was the 7D's first outing and it's a pity the weather didn't co-operate! Plus the fact that it's a new camera, and I am still figuring out how to use it properly, is also reflected in the quality of the pics.
