The bow of the MS Disney Magic is pointing towards the open waters of the Straits of Dover and the English Channel through the Western Entrance (bounded by the Admiralty Pier behind the ship and the out-of-shot Southern Breakwater further to the left).

The photo was taken at 5.55 am on Sunday, 18th of July, 2010, from the lighthouse and cafe end of the Prince of Wales Pier.

The view is similar to that shown in the "MS Disney Magic Cruise Ship at Sunrise, Western Entrance 1" photo (linked to below), except this one shows more of the side of the ship and less of the stern (a better picture all round, I think).

The MS Disney Magic has just finished a 11-Night Northern European Capitals Cruise which called at Oslo (Norway), Copenhagen (Denmark), Warnemünde/Rostock (Germany), St Petersburg (Russia), Helsinki (Finland), and Stockholm (Sweden).

Later in the day, the ship began a cruise with a similar itinerary, except it called at Tallinn (Estonia) instead of Helsinki.

This Dover Harbour photo was taken at 5.52 am on Saturday, 12th of June, 2010, from a point between the Porthole Shelters (to the right) and the lighthouse and cafe (to the left) on the Prince of Wales Pier (western side).

The MS Disney Magic has just finished a "7-Night Barcelona to Dover Cruise" whose itinerary comprised: Barcelona (Spain), Gibraltar (UK), Cádiz (Cadiz, Spain), and Lisbon (Portugal).

The foreground memorial left-of-centre in the above photo has an inscribed plaque on top dedicated to Sir Clifford Jarrett, K.B.E. (1905-1995), an ex-pupil at Dover Grammar School for Boys (DGSB, which I also attended from 1962-1967).

Extract from "The Dover County School 1905-1931" (2):

C. G. J. Jarrett had been winning merit awards and prizes all the way up the school (DGSB) and he now departed with a state scholarship and a major scholarship to Sydney Sussex College, Cambridge. In 1930 Mr. Whitehouse was able to visit Cambridge and be entertained to dinner by Old Pharosians Sanders, Garland, Stanway, Dilnot, Carpenter, Trist and Jarrett. Jarrett rose through the Civil Service to become Sir Clifford Jarrett, K.B.E., permanent secretary or under-secretary to several ministries until he retired in 1970 and then for nine years often visited Dover and the school when he was Chairman of Dover Harbour Board (from 1971 to 1980).
