During last year’s Semester at Sea Spring Enrichment Voyage on the MV Explorer I managed to get 9 images of ships transiting the sun at sunrise or sunset. This year I was on the ship for both the last segment of the Enrichment Voyage, and the Summer Semester voyage — more days, but only got a couple of ship/sun/sunrise/sunset transit images. This one was close during our final sunrise as we approached Southampton.
