Observation details
I first saw a group of 5 flying while attempting to identify the falcon from deck 15. I grabbed a couple of poor quality cellphone images that I will add. Two in the group were adults, with dark heads and white bellies. I went to my cabin to get my camera and was able to capture a few better images of an individual bird I observed flying alongside the ship. It dove once for fish. It's dive was from low to the water and at an angle. The single bird was an immature and lacked the white band on the tail that would be visible with a northern gannet. It was brown over all, with a lighter brown belly. Adding photos.
