As the last wisps of summer's warmth dissipated, the four-deck river cruise ship Konstantin Fedin prepared to bid farewell to Moscow for the season. On September 22, 2024, at precisely 12:30 PM, the vessel's horn let out a mournful whistle, echoing across the water as it departed the city until the next navigation season.
Photographers and enthusiasts had gathered to capture the moment, but they were met with a challenge. The ship was not docked at the pier, but rather positioned with its second hull facing the shore. This made it somewhat inconvenient to snap the perfect shot, but the determined onlookers persevered.
Despite the difficulties in capturing the moment, the photographers managed to snap a few poignant shots of the departing vessel. The images would serve as a reminder of the Konstantin Fedin's fleeting presence in Moscow, a presence that would be deeply missed until its return next season.
As the ship disappeared into the distance, the city seemed to grow quieter, as if it too were bidding farewell to a dear friend. The Konstantin Fedin's horns may have been a simple sound, but it carried a profound significance - a reminder of the joy and wonder that the ship brought to all who sailed upon it.
