Field notes

Fig. 014 — Observation

Launching in 1998 with the Magic, and the Wonder a year behind it; the fleet then grows in bursts as new ships are unveiled. Unlike an attraction tethered to one plot of land, this is a mobile population – observed in ports and at sea, its range the Caribbean, Mediterranean, glacial passages of Alaska, and beyond. This is a living manifest; more keels are already laid.
