On September 12th 2012, we had the opportunity to visit Thomson Cruises’ Thomson Spirit at Harwich International Port for the second time this year, following our previous visit on September 1st 2012.

On the occasion of the second visit, Harry Cotterill, President & Managing Director, Dream Designs Colchester, was joined by his father Brian Cotterill during the visit to Thomson Spirit at Harwich International Port.

Less than two weeks previously Harry had visited Thomson Spirit together with Gavin Pamment, Photographer, Dream Designs Colchester where they met with the Captain and officially presented a brand new especially assigned drawing.

Thomson Cruises were kind enough to invite Harry and his father Brian to visit Thomson Spirit on September 12th 2012 so that they would have the opportunity to see the drawing displayed aboard.

Harry and Brian were joined aboard Thomson Spirit by a number of travel agents and fellow members of the Ocean Liner Society. Visitors were given a complete tour of the ship’s amenities and many of the different cabins too.

Once the tour had finished visitors were invited to the Compass Restaurant to enjoy lunch aboard Thomson Spirit. Upon entering the restaurant Harry and Brian had the chance to see the drawing of Thomson Spirit in its splendid new frame. Unfortunately a place had not been found for the drawing.

After having a number of photographs taken together with his drawing, Harry decided to disembark the vessel and not join the other visitors for lunch due to the fact that he had only just returned from Southampton the night before. 

Harry Cotterill, President & Managing Director, Dream Designs Colchester photographed with his drawing of Thomson Spirit in the frame which had been made aboard after he presented it to the Captain less than two weeks previously.

Harry Cotterill, President & Managing Director, Dream Designs Colchester, said:

“My father and I were very pleased to be able to visit Thomson Spirit and enjoyed touring the ship together with the other visitors. However we were slightly disappointed to see that our drawing had not yet been displayed as promised.”

He added:

“I am confident that Thomson Cruises will find a suitable location to display the drawing. Although the drawing was not displayed the frame which had been put together by the crew on board looked marvellous!”
