Max Breakaway

In May six years ago, I posted these fotos of a relatively new NCL vessel called Norwegian Spirit.  Yesterday morning at 0615 . . . l’amiga caught this view of sunrise looking over toward Jersey City.

It’s Breakaway‘s inaugural entry into the city . . .  Here’s an article about some of the related welcoming events.

Here’s the full monty, and about twelve hours later, here she

exits as captured by John Watson from his cliff over on Staten Island.

Thanks to l’amiga and John Watson for these fotos.  Here’s an article about building this vessel;  this series on building her goes all the way back to 2011.  Anyone explain why it’s called Breakaway?

I’ll try to catch her entering the Narrows one of these days.
