I continue to volunteer regularly onboard Big J and always take plenty of photos whenever I'm there. On this page you'll find links to photos taken since the ships Grand Opening on October 14, 2001. If you would like to see photos from another period in the ships long and distinguished career, click Here to go to the Photo Gallery Main Page and select a link for the time period you want to see photos from. If you'd like to see photos of a specific area of the ship, click Here and describe the area in an e-mail. I'll try and take some photos of that area for you the next time I'm onboard. |
