Cruise from Istanbul to Rome

I recently went on cruise from Istanbul to Rome, I took quite a few photographs and I will attach a few of them to this post.
Can anyone spot the deliberate errors I have made, there are three!

No, unless a wire is deliberate. I am not good a guessing.

The mountain peak seems a bit fuzzy.

It's the Matterhorn, in Switzerland, not Istanbul or Rome. Unnecessary flags and container in #2.

I took this shot to show the clouds forming from the mountain peak.
Here are a couple shots of the same mountain just a few minutes apart.

I went on a cruise ship Istanbul to Cittaveccchia, which is the Port for Rome.
You cannot go directly to Rome as it's about 50 miles inland, it's a ploy often used by cruise ship operators to trick customers into thinking they are going some nice, where in reality they are not.
I transferred to Rome by train which takes over an hour, then caught another train to Milan and then another train to Chur which is on the Italy/Swiss border.
This is nearly 800km (500 mile) and takes about 8 hours including two changes so actual travelling time is only 6 hours.
Next day we caught the Bernina Glacier Express to Zermatt, even the train operators admit that this train is the slowest express in the world, but the scenery is fantastic and the track is so steep the train uses a rack and pinion to climb the steep sections.
Next day we went up to the Gornegrat which is 3089 mts (10134 feet high) on the Gornegrat Rack and Pinion railway which is where the photos of the Matterhorn were taken.
The following day we set off home in the North West of the UK by various highspeed trains via Lake Zurich, Cologne, Brussels and London.

The three deliberate mistakes were:
1: Rome is not a port so it is impossible to visit it on a cruise ship.
2: The mountain shot is of the Matterhorn which is in Switzerland so cannot be reached on a ship.
3: The railway engine was taken on Gornergrat which is also in Switzerland and cannot be reached by any sort of boat
Thanks everybody for letting me have a bit of fun.
