The British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC) asked the Boat School to build three traditionally-built Whitehalls as replicas of the boats used by John Wesley Powell and his group of explorers during their first-ever descent of the Colorado River in 1869. The BBC will film a reenactment of the voyage later in 2013.
The School is building one 16-foot Whitehall, the "Scout Boat", and two 21-foot Whitehalls. Though Powell launched four Whitehalls onto the river in 1869, one, the 21-foot "No Name", was lost to the river shortly after the descent began.
The white oak from which the boats are constructed was supplied by Newport Nautical Timbers www.newportnauticaltimbers.com/ . The 16-foot boat will be planked in larch from eastern Washington, which is as close as it is possible to come to the original white pine planking used on that boat.
Whitehalls are the iconic American pulling boat.
They emerged in New York City and, possibly, shortly thereafter in Boston in the 1830's. It is thought the name derives from Whitehall Street in New York City, though no one is sure. By the mid-19th century, they could be found anywhere there was a sizeable body of water - the East Coast, the Great Lakes, and the Pacific Coast at San Francisco all boasted boatbuilders turning out Whitehalls.
The boats were usually used under oars and occasionally sail as fast harbor ferries and the boat used to take harbor pilots out to meet inbound sailing ships. They have a fine reputation as fast, easy-rowing vessels that are capable of carrying a great deal of weight.
Nearly all Whitehalls were carvel-built with white cedar planking on an oak backbone with oak frames. (Carvel planking means that the planks butted up against each other, edge to edge, which results in a smooth hull). The finer boats were highlighted with a bright sheer plank (the top plank) varnished to catch one's eye.
There is surprisingly little known about the boats used by the 1869 Powell Expedition, the first to descend the Grand Canyon of the Colorado River. We do know that the Powell Expedition boats were built in Chicago IL to Powell's specifications.
It's known that the "Scout Boat" as Powell called it was 16 feet long and planked in white pine, that the remaining boats were 21 feet long and planked in white oak with twice the number of frames and doubled stems and stern posts.
There are no complete descriptions of the boats themselves, no pictures, and only a few scattered references made to the boats in the surviving journals and records of the Expedition.
The three boats we are building for the BBC are being constructed to the best information available, using the general scantlings provided by John Gardner's historical work, extent plans, our significant experience in building Whitehalls over our 32 years, and the historical data available to us.
The boats will be completed by mid-July, 2013.

Photos taken on Sunday November 2, 2008, Clear beautiful day.
3 different areas: At Sony Studios there is a giant advertising billboard on top of a giant sound stage. This billboard originally reflected the Metro Goldwyn Mayer Logo, including Leo the Lion. When M.G.M. sold the studio, the sign has also been updated with each new owner. Currently the advertising billboard reflects Columbia Studios, owned by Sony Entertainment. The billboard is currently advertising the new James Bond 007 Movie "Quantum of Solace", which opens November 14, 2008.
This group was taken in Culver City. Sony Studios is bordered by Washington Blvd., Clarington, Culver Blvd. and Overland. Sony Studios was also known as Metro Goldwyn Mayer Studios. This entire complex was known as Lot 1 of Metro Goldwyn Mayer Studios. Sony Studio is the distributors of the new United Artists Pictures film, Quantum of Solace.
Again this lot was originally known as Metro Goldwyn Mayer Studios Lot 1 in Culver City California. The Sony Studio's lot has gone through a series of owners and names, including Metro Goldwyn Mayer, M.G.M.,Columbia Pictures, Warner Brothers, Lorimar,Turner Broadcasting, and Sony. Lot 1 was originally the main headquarters for Metro Goldwyn Mayer Studios until it was purchased by Turner Broadcasting. Turner kept the M.G.M. U.A. catalog content including motion pictures, television shows, animation and sold off the physical studio. The M.G.M. U.A. catalog was also subdivided and has gone through a series of owners. The physical studio property was taken over by Lorimar Studios, makers of Dallas. Lorimar was taken over by Warner Brothers Studios. Columbia Tristar Pictures (Also has a long history, including being owned by Coca Cola Company) took over the lot. Sony took over Columbia Pictures, including Tri Star Pictures. The Studio was renamed Sony Studios with Columbia being the major brand.
Around Culver City, there were a series of other lots owned by M.G.M., however the other lots were sold off over the years including lot 2, 3, and 5, years prior to being M.G.M. taken over by Turner.
Directly across the street from Sony is the third subject: St. Augustine's Catholic Church located at Washington Blvd. and Jasmine. The main Catholic Church is Gothic in design. The current church replaced an older church, which is directly next door. It has been modified with the removal of its original church steeple. It is used as a Parish Meeting Hall.

An original M.G.M. Building facade is the Colonnade Building, which is directly across from St. Augustine's. This building was demolished, and the only remnants left of the structure is its facade.

Here's an oddity from the collection. I am not sure what the "46" refers to, could be the year but the photo looks like it predates 1946. There is an imperfection with the development that overlaps the baby's face causing it to look a little strange. Found in Ohio.

DR (Danish Broadcasting Corporation) have released 77,000 pictures from its archives for free use under the commercial Commons licence. Most of these pictures are from DR's studio productions but a number of pictures show their vehicles from the 1950's onwards. I have collected the best of these in this series.
DR is Denmark’s oldest and largest electronic media enterprise. The corporation was founded in 1925 as a public service organisation.

The giant Fernsehturm peeks out from behind the Berliner Dom.
The Berliner Dom is as much a symbol of Imperial extravagance as it is of Christianity, built to replace a small imperial chapel on the Museuminsel in the middle of the River Spree.
Completed in 1905, to a design by Julius Racshdorff, it was opened in the presence of Kaiser Wilhelm II and is unusual for a Protestant church, with its lavishly decorated interior.
Much of that decoration is in tribute to the Hohenzollern family, with the sarcophagi of more than 90 members of the Imperial dynasty within its walls.
The 74-metre high copper dome can be climbed by the public for views of the Museum Island and around and is decorated inside with mosaics of the Beatitudes, by Anton von Werner.
The church was badly damaged by Allied bombing during the Second World War and restoration did not begin until 1974 – it has still not been completed.
The Fernsehturm is the most prominent building in the whole of Berlin, visible day and night from just about everywhere in the city.
Standing 1,188ft tall, the giant silver spindle (known at the Telespargel – toothpick – by locals), with a sparking silver sphere revolving around its middle, was built by the East German government in 1969 as a symbol of their power, as well as a functioning transmitter.
Now a tourist attraction, visitors take the lift up the centre of the tower to the viewing platform in the sphere at 666ft or the revolving restaurant above, from where there are great views over the entire city.
Part of the BBC's W1 complex. Another example of the Art Deco style of design to be found dotted throughout London.

Studio 5 has a number of different backdrops and styles to meet your needs.
This file features: Camera pulls back from a wall of monitors. As the camera settles, the left most monitors turn green for easy chroma keying out to replace with your own footage and b-roll.
Lots of natural light. I'm crazy for the birch plywood, concrete, and steel aesthetic. This was a big rolling partition used to keep crowds from entering the recording studios before show time.
The wonderful Tobias Golodnoff (Leader of the Danish Cultural Heritage Project at The Danish Broadcasting Corporation) gave us a little bit of a tour of the DR headquarters after the conference. It was *extremely* impressive.
