Vane Brothers 7
Quick . . . name those units? Type Vane Brothers into the search window, presuming you know these are Vane Brothers boats, and you’d get all the previous instances of this title, going back to 2009. Now you can see the names . . . Potomac above and Fort McHenry below. Philadelphia is legible here, […]
Other Watersheds 17c
As an example of how large this watershed is, the photo below was taken on June 2; at that point Vikingbank was inbound from Sweden upbound near the intersection of the St. Lawrence and Lake Ontario and headed for Duluth. It arrived in Duluth to load grain only June 15!! Click here for a site […]
Other Watersheds 17b
Back to the jaunt in the St Lawrence watershed, specifically my itinerary was from Clayton mainland to Grindstone Island, then return to the mainland, then southwest to Cape Vincent, and then to Kingston, Ontario. To get to Kingston from Cape Vincent involves two ferries: one from Cape Vincent to Wolfe Island in Canada and then […]
Other Watersheds 17a
Here’s the index. Since I grew up in western New York and my grandparents lived 30 or so miles off to the right of this photo, crossing this bridge happened several times a year. It was by far the biggest bridge in my world. That’s Canada to the right. The bridge was completed in 1937, […]
Other Watersheds 16
Here’s an index of the series. Can you place the scene below . . . on the other side of the tracks? Photos come thanks to Elizabeth Wood who’s on her own gallivant. I’ve never been here, but now . . . it’s moved way up on my list. It’s Grand Canyon State and […]
Other Watersheds 15
Quick . . . name the fourth largest port in Florida? The answer is here. And I’ve long wanted to visit it, and my our good fortune is that recently friends–Allan and Sally–who are excellent photographers did, and here are some they share. Click here for a photo of Cangarda they took and here for some […]
Other Watersheds 14
Technically, I’ve never finished my posts on watersheds 12 and 13 . . . the troves of photos from those places have simply been preserved by photos that followed and those stories remain to be finished . . . like most things in life. The photos here, all from Maraki . . . , offer […]
Tis the Season
Tis the season . . . to keep your eyes and ears on the weather. In 1938 . . . before hurricanes had names or we had satellites to track them thousands of miles off, a big one came ashore on Long Island, a once-a-century-or-longer storm. Do you know this structure below? Here’s the […]
Océan Blue 1
A jolly tar sent me some photos that could be a continuation of Other Watersheds 17. He was there recently, and these photos add to my desire to get back up there, since it’s been 25 years since I last saw this place. Note the pilot boat. Now I’ll use his words: “MAERSK PALERMO northbound on St. Lawrence […]
Other Watersheds 13
More later after the gallivant ends.
