The former general cargo freighter and today’s museum ship Cap San Diego has moored in Cuxhaven at the Seebäderbrücke (former RoRo terminal).
Grimmershörn at night
Again unsuccessfully looked for NLCs. Too cloudy to have even a hint of a chance. Nevertheless, two pictures with the cloud cover from Grimmershörn Bay. Shortly after the picture was taken, the AIDAprima left Hamburg for the North Sea metropolis and Norway tour.
