A cruise liner on Heligoland roadstead- a rare sight. It just happens when a storm comes through or, as in this case, the berth at the destination is not ready. A ship as huge as this is not really a blessing for the island. There is not much to do for the passengers and they hardly take their business there. A cruise ship brings everything, from food to duty free goods to tenders- the islanders' opinion on this can be read from their demeanor

As a chance commentary on social disparity this image juxtaposes the island's youth hostel with a cruise ship
