Journey leaving New York for the Titanic Memorial Cruise

The two Titanic memorial cruises are now well underway.  Yesterday (April 10), Azamara Journey left Manhattan to start its voyage.  I managed to watch a bit of the sail-away on a fantastic webcam in New York harbor.  Here is the little ship on her way to leave the harbor under the Verazanno Narrows bridge.

This webcam, by the way, is not your average webcam that's grainy and updates once a minute.  This webcam is high-def, full motion.  It is extremely clear and provides a really nice view of ships coming and going in the harbor.  I haven't seen much better streaming video.  I highly recommend it, especially next week, say April 19th around 6pm!  Yesterday this shot was taken just after 6pm and Journey should have departed at 5pm, the same time we are scheduled to depart next week.  So, if you have time on your hands, mark your calendar and check in around 5:45 pm EDT.  Weather permitting I will be on the top deck as we go under the bridge!

Check out the web cam at: http://nyharborwebcam.com.  The same folks run other webcams, for example in Port Everglades, Fort Lauderdale.  It's a much busier port, in terms of cruise ships that is.  For ship lovers, look there on the weekends, it's full and usually has the largest cruise ship in the world, Oasis of the Seas, positioned there (no desire to go on it personally!).  That webcam can be found at http://portevergladeswebcam.com
