Thanks guys
I've got mixed feelings about them as, being currently out of work, they're a sad reminder of the times we're in yet, on the other hand, they are nice to look at and spectacularly lit at night (one, Eurodam, has even arranged cabin lights to spell 'Torbay**').
Currently we have three actually in the bay: Tui's Marella Explorer and HAL's Eurodam and Oosterdam with five more outside Torbay around the point in Babbacombe Bay so out of sight to me.
They all go on a wander every few days to either Portland or Southampton to resupply.
There's a Facebook group for the watchers and it has 14.5k members which makes for a lot of duplicated (and pretty rubbish) photographs so I only post the occasional 'arty' shot like this
Cheers,
John

Thanks Bill and Colin.
Yes, only two at present as Eurodam went out into mid channel but is heading back now. They do this to dump grey water outside the twelve-mile limit and take on 'fresh' seawater for desalination. 'Black' water I think (I hope!) is pumped out when alongside.
Cheers,
John
