Caption Competition Mk III
Borne from afar on the gentle breeze
Joining the murmur of the summer seas
Distant tones of an old world dance
Played by the village band perchance
On the calm air came floating down
I thought I could hear the curious tone
Of the cornet clarinet and big trombone
Fiddle, 'cello big bass drum
Bassoon, flute and euphonium
Far away, as in a trance
I heard the sound of the Floral Dance
Joining the murmur of the summer seas

On deck the dance troupe prepare a rousing Hornpipe dance. For balance Captain asks some to move the Starboard side. However the landlubbers did not know their Port from their Starboard. .
Ladies Beware! This hospital ship specializes in tuba ligation.

The fabled Lorelei Sirens were not quite what the crew and patients had expected

The band were impressed wih the tightrope walker, especially with the length of his pole.

Due to the age of the monarch, the new Royal Yacht had some additional facilities added onboard.

The band collapses into mayhem, the result of pier pressure.
