SS Nomadic Art - "Call at Cherbourg" by Michel Guyot

Hi all sea dogs!

I have now some additional information re. the beautiful painting (Nr.2) on page 2 of this thread:
MaritimeQuest - Exclusive Art by Michel Guyot

It is made by French artist Michel Guyot in 2008 and depicts RMS Titanic as she makes her very first call of port (between c:a 5.30 and 8.30 pm) at Cherbourg harbor, where the SS Nomadic comes out to meet her and deliver about 120 passengers, among them the 'unsinkable' Molly Brown, the wealthy industrialist John Jacob Astor and his young wife, Benjamin Guggenheim and his mistress, the Duff-Gordon couple and others in 1st and 2nd class, traveling to Cherbourg by train from Paris. The smaller White Star (3rd class) tender SS Traffic can be seen on Titanic's port side:



I have of course ordered a print and I just got word that it is on it's way!

(Photo Nr.3 is, by the way, a screen capture from James Cameron's blockbuster movie "Titanic").
