Videos from the Isle of Wight and Beyond. My name is Steve Mew and as a photographer and content creator, I tend to capture various views of the Island while out and about. I thought I would create this channel to keep these videos separate from our other Travel and Cruise channel @BrainzIOW
You just have to look on KINGS HARBOUR MASTER PORTSMOUTH’s web pages for LNTM 66/24…. It references the “Richard Millie Cup”. I’m reassured to know that my local harbourmaster has absolutely no idea what, how or whom is Richard Millie… and his eyewateringly expensive watches. Let me break out my sailing Casio - bulletproof 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
I’m sorry Cunard….and I’m a Southampton lad…..brought up on the original Queen Mary and Elizabeth….looking out over the docks from my bedroom window and seeing all the classic liners……this ship lacks beauty. Seen in silhouette on the horizon it looks like a container ship. The inside, however, is quite stunning. Surely some designer can bring back the style and grace of the ‘old ladies’. Ps sorry for the rant!
I thought it looked classic. Long pointed bow, sleek. What I find weird looking are some of the other new ships like Celebrity for eg. Those inverted bows that point downward into the water just, they don’t look right. All in the eye of the beholder I suppose.
Lovely comments Kai. It just goes to show how the years quickly pass. I was thinking something similar to myself as I witnessed her arrival into her home port of Southampton. Looking forward to witnessing her departure on Friday evening as the QUEEN ANNE leaves on her maiden voyage. I originally had concerns regarding the size of the funnel as well as the extra full deck height of her black hull and the Cunard logo but having seen it in the flesh as it we're I'm very impressed. The Cunard logo on her forward part of her hull was going to be white but I'm pleased that it remained the iconic Cunard red. The retouched Cunard crest looks beautifull as well.
It feels surreal. After 7 years since I first saw this ship announced in my high school cafeteria (remember it like it was yesterday), she's finally home and ready to grace the seas of the world in the way only Cunard can. Welcome at last, Queen Anne. Lovely footage too. 👍
That pier is the saddest thing about this. It used to be derelict but had lovely little just at the front that sold drinks and snacks. Some rich idiot bought it, built the monstrous cafe, made it posh and raised priced. Unsurprisingly it’s closed and now empty. So sad. Love this part of the isle of sight and the walk along the front. Rich people spoiling everyone’s enjoyment 🤷♂️🥺😔
Thanks for this. Coming to the Island soon and this was one of our favourite spots to explore. Unbelievable devastation. No more visits to the Tea Rooms at the top. Genuinely saddened especially for the locals affected. Great footage. Thanks again.
Thank you for showing us how near to falling the little summer house is on Luccombe 😱 The (isle of wight ) Shanklin cam use to be situated on top of the summer house but now as been removed before it collapses into the sea 😭
Very useful and informative, thanks for posting. For a moment there reading your description I did wonder why so many council staff were hanging around in Iceland, perhaps this would explain why the paths weren't being cleared?! Then I read on. I can imagine Island Roads staff shovelling hot baked beans and sausage rolls, red hot lava not so much though!
These are only aerial views and this will not stop me from walking thou the landslip in Bonchurch thou to Ventnor or Shanklin as I no every part around this beautiful place as I've walked thou here so many times in the 70's to the present day.
This is great, thanks for posting. The Chimney survived relatively intact although dropped thirty feet or so. The Wishing Seat also is still in place as is the second chimney nearby. These were in an unaffected area but obviously sealed-off to the public for safety. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-K7NiFnFVkfU.html
Nice video to see some of the latest cliff falls along here, my father's memorial bench is the one next to the Appley 74 steps that have been closed off for some time now even after a repair attempt ! We're wondering how much longer it will be there for.
