The old and the new on Sydney Harbour.

[Kathy A]

Both equally appealing for different reasons

[winghong_ho]

Beautiful capture. I favor the old one.

[Peter Dulis]

Wow- 2 worlds apart :)

[Mags]

What a difference! Great shots.

[Bucktree]

Love the juxtaposition of old and modern.

[Beryl Lloyd]

Both beautiful in their own right!

[Merrelyn]

I'd much rather cruise around on the old one, too many people on the new one for my liking :)

[Call me Joe]

👌👌👌

[Nigel Rogers]

I'm with Merrelyn, the other one looks like an office block on its side.

[Pam]

I love the old!

[Corinne C]

Nice composite. I think I'd prefer the old as I don't like crowds

[mittens (Marilyn)]

Wonderful shots.

[Joan Robillard]

I have been on a windjammer which is much smaller and an old cruise ship turned into a ferry. But not one of the behemoths. Nor do I have a desire. But great pictures.

[Susan Wakely]

So very different.

[carol white]

Great comparative shots

[Dianne]

Great images to compare!

[Diana]

Fabulous shots and comparisons.

[Agnes]

Great collage

[Margaret Brown]

Love the comparison, super collage

[Carole Sandford]

A great comparison shot! How things have changed.

[haskar]

Nice comparison. I prefer the old one.

[Babs]

Nive comparison, how things have changed.

[Steve Peyton]

Times have changed...

[Phil Howcroft]

nice juxtaposition John

[John Falconer]

@joansmor
My last and only cruise was in 1976! Didn’t like it much!

[John Falconer]

@merrelyn
Agreed and this one looks huge!!

Thanks for the much appreciated comments. I really do like it and I know that it takes time to comment.

[Islandgirl]

Nice composition!

[Daisy Miller]

Great collage.

[Kathy]

The old one would be more fun to see for me.

[eDorre]

Cool comparison shot!

[Petespost]

Spot on, pirates at the stern, get ready

[Valerie Chesney]

Such a fabulous comparison...
I have been on two River Cruise in Europe with small numbers, the thousands on a cruise ship doesn't appeal at all.

[Yao RL]

I like the comparison.

[Wylie]

What a comparison! Is that the young Endeavour?

Thanks for commenting.
Sadly I’m not sure what it. I just looked at the original photo. It’s called the Southern Swan.

[Christine Sztukowski]

love the tall ships

[Harry J Benson]

Top for a short trip, bottom for an extended vacation

[Skip Tribby - ​🖖]

Those cruise ships are unbelievablely big. Never been on one. Don't know if I ever will. Too many people to close together. Nice comparison shot.

[Renee Salamon]

Lovely contrast

[John Falconer]

Thanks for commenting.
The big liner is not my cup of tea. So to speak. But thousands and thousands seem to have a great time!!!

[Pyrrhula]

Great shots of both nice ships. Each has it`s own actractivity.

[Rick]

Great shots.

[Fisher Family]

That is quite a contrast!

[John Falconer]

@pyrrhula @rickster549 @fishers
Personally I just can’t believe how big the cruise ship is!!! I migrated as a child in a ship ten percent this size.
Thanks for the much appreciated comments.

[Skip Tribby - ​🖖]

I just saw this on your Flashback. Yes, I do look at what people post. An amazing contrast. It made me think of the 102 Pilgrims that crossed the Atlantic in the Mayflower which was only about 100 feet (30.4 m) long 25 feet wide (7.6 meters wide) whereas modern day cruise ships average 1,000 feet (304.8 m) long, 154 feet (47 m) wide, 240 feet (73 m) high. That means you could put about 13 Mayflowers on the deck of a modern cruise ship.
