Here's a bit more info from David, who's great grandfather, by the way, was on the Titanic and lived to talk about it!! Maybe we can get him to tell us the story!

We can have the webcam on you pretty much all the time... if Mariner ties-up where she usually does. One of the closer berths. However, at that range even our 26x zoom won't pick out the color of your cocktail umbrellas!
The smaller ships zip out at quite a pace compared to the lumbering giants who are no slouches either. Sometimes the best angle to catch a group is on approach to the inlet channel and then on exit from the channel. In the channel is closest to the cam but the speed of the ship at that range can blur the images. If Lou is doing handheld shots with his Nikon then he can adjust accordingly but the webcam isn't that flexible. Exit also has the sunlight advantage... heading east, sun settng in west, not shooting into the sun, etc.
