SCOOTER’S JOURNEY · 493 PHOTOGRAPHS

A NOTE FROM SCOOTER

Every port leaves something aboard.

Some places announce themselves with monuments. Others stay because of a garden path, a glass of wine, a face beside an old ruin, or the color of the sky after the ship has pulled away. These photographs are Scott’s record of both kinds of wonder.

The route crosses famous World Heritage landmarks, smaller ports worth remembering, museums, beaches, canals, cities, and quiet horizons. Scooter introduces each stop as a chapter in one continuous life at sea.

Victoria, Canada — The Butchart Gardens
