The Olde Towne welcomed its second cruise liner of the 2015 season yesterday, but unfortunately also its last.

Balmoral, which arrived at Penno’s Wharf at 8am from Nassau in the Bahamas, was given a special escort into the harbour by one of the three rowing gigs that make up the Bermuda Pilot Gig Club’s fleet.

The liner was only in St George for the day, but provided a welcome boost to the local economy. The ship left Bermuda yesterday evening at 6pm bound for the Azores.
