Here is a short video i took in relation to the panorama i posted here of the MS Queen Victoria docking at Killybegs, Co. Donegal, Ireland.

The video is far from perfect as the wind was blown at a steady 18.6mph and i probably shouldn't have risked it, but i got up at 5am to drive 2 hours to see the ship ;)
As the P4 flies from the stern to the bow i had to speed up the video by 1.5 times as the P4 was only able to do 2mph due to the strong head wind and kept blown it off course so you will see constant adjustments to keep it on course.

@1:32 you will see huge cylinders lying on the dock, these are the base towers for wind turbines.

That was really awesome! Capturing the video was really like a PRO. The ship was really huge and wonderful. Keep it up!

"the smallest of Cunard's ships in operation.

Queen Victoria's facilities include seven restaurants, thirteen bars, three swimming pools, a ballroom, and a theatre

2,081 passengers, Crew: 900"

It's going to be a bit crowded on those life boats if they are ever needed, especially if they can only launch one side!
-
"Propulsion: Two ABB Azipods (2 × 16.7 MW)" - that would need several of the wind turbines.
