NAHLIN seen at Sandon Dock Liverpool after whilst up for sale following her repatriation from Romania.
At the time the yacht brokers were very unhappy about photographs being taken of the vessel and myself and other enthusiasts were chased away despite holding Photographic Passes issued by the dock company.
Fortunately on August 08, 2003 members of the Merseyside Branch of the World Ship Society were taken on a cruise around Liverpool Docks on board the pollution control vessel POLGARTH from which this photograph was taken and with water between us and the resident security!

NAHLIN is one of the last three large steam yachts to be constructed in the UK. Built for Lady Yule [Annie Henrietta] a jute millionairess and widow the NAHLIN carried a crew of 58. Her first appearance was at Cowes Week, August 1930. She had been designed by G.L. Watson & Company and built by John Brown & Company of Glasgow.
The vessel was originally furnished with six en-suite staterooms for guests, ladies sitting room with sea views on three sides and a library.
In 1936 NAHLIN was chartered by the "Duke of Lancaster" who was King Edward VIII and used by him in the company of Mrs. Wallace Simpson during their love affair.
NAHLIN was purchased by the Romanian government in 1937 for the sum of £120,000. The yacht was renamed LUCEAFARUL [The Evening Star] by King Carol who also had the vessel’s gymnasium replaced by a stateroom.
Following King Carol's abdication, she remained the property of the Romanian Government and survived the years of Communist rule serving as a passenger ship and latterly as a restaurant on the River Danube. The ship was renamed LIBERTATEA [Freedom] in 1948.
In the latter part of 1999, the yacht was shipped to the UK aboard the Dockwise Heavy Lift Ship SWIFT.
When LIBERTATEA arrived in the UK she was laid up at DML's Devonport Dockyard and remained there until the end of April 2000. She was brought to Liverpool and arrived on May 3, 2003, being berthed at the then Cammell Laird owned Clarence Dry Docks adjacent to Stanley Dock where she was expected to undergo the initial phase of what was expected to be a $35million dollar restoration.
In October 2000 G.L. Watson & Company the yacht's original designers were appointed as special consultants to the restoration being supervised by Yachtworks Ltd.
LIBERTATEA was removed from the Clarence Dry Docks around July 23, 2001, to a berth in Sandon Dock. Since her arrival G.L. Watson's sister company, Yachtworks, have removed over 450 tones of asbestos insulation, heavy fuel oil and debris and the interior surveyed. The ship was given her original name NAHLIN and port of registry – Glasgow whilst at Liverpool.
On July 27, 2005 NAHLIN was loaded aboard the heavy lift ship CONDOCK V at Liverpool and taken to Rendsburg it was reported she had be bought by German interests.
It later transpired the purchaser was businessman Anthony Bamford of JCB digger fame. Her refit was continued in Germany.
As refitted, she has berths for 14 passengers and up to 47 crew. She was then taken to Hamburg, where Blohm+Voss replaced her steam turbines with a new diesel-electric powertrain. MTU Friedrichshafen supplied a pair of 16-cylinder diesel engines, each of which is rated at 2,502 bhp (1,866 kW). They drive a pair of electric generators, which in turn drive a pair of electric motors, one powering each propeller. Each electric motor is rated at 2,000 kW (2,700 hp).
During restoration, the ship’s original mahogany-hulled 6.4 m (21 ft) ship-to-shore tender, believed lost for 60 years, was found in Scotland, having been fully restored by owner Willie McCullough. It has now been reunited with the yacht.
In 2006 Inventor and entrepreneur Sir James and Lady Dyson acquired the yacht from Anthony Bamford.
In 2010 NAHLIN returned to service.
I've lived out in Maine for over two years now, and I have barely shot the Moosehead East Sub. I live right by it and there's shots to be had, but I'm lazy. For some reason CN 3967 ended up leading a 120 into Brownville Junction the other day and luck would have it that it would be wyed and lead 121 the next day.
I drove up to BVJ in the morning to verify this and got a headstart on them since I needed to walk in pretty far for this image. Bald Bluff used to be just that, a bunch of bare rock along the railroad. To the left is Moosehead Lake, and like a few other spots along it, CP had to blast through rock formations that went right down to the waterline to complete their mainline at lake-level all those decades ago. If you look at old images here, you could walk up to the top of the cut and get a beautiful view looking over the tracks with the lake clearly visible to the left.
Nowadays, the inventor of trees has ruined all of that. Tall growth skirts the lake, and the bluff itself is home to some rather thick foliage. Thankfully there is still plenty of space on the lakeside of the cut to get some elevation for a photo. It may not be what it once was, but it still makes for one hell of a shot.
It wasn't long that I had to wait before this odd couple leading 121 made their way into my viewfinder, about an hour behind schedule.
We probably have a housewife like this to thank for the invention of hanging bridges. At least since the photo was taken, experts have doubted that the Tibetan siddha and bridge builder Thangtong Gyalpo was really the inventor, as was previously assumed. Perhaps history needs to be rewritten.

During his time travels, the Old Inventor discovered a dying planet and began his rescue efforts to save a race of peaceful biodiverse beings from extinction. These beings are a strange combination of humanoid, reptile and plant. I will share some of them with you here; they shall remain nameless.
Pepsi was first invented in 1893 as "Brad's Drink" by Caleb Bradham, who sold the drink at his drugstore in New Bern, North Carolina. It was renamed Pepsi-Cola in 1898, "Pepsi" because it was advertised to relieve dyspepsia (indigestion) and "Cola" referring to the cola flavour.

"By golly, look at it go, Branston!" the older businessman said, pleasantly surprised at the unexpected mannerism of the robot that. Branston just raised an eyebrow in scrutiny. He had to be sure of the thing they were about to invest in.
"So how do you like him, gentlemen? He's ready to work, self-sufficient, intelligent, and he'll definitely do good work in the mines," the inventor said. His partner grinned in satisfaction, sure of their creation, knowing that with this one chance, they can and will finally land their first big break. He just hoped that Branston agrees as well, of course.

If you are a tad chilly, Dr Naismith offers you a free scarf to take away for the benefit of your health This is a good thing because we have had three consecutive pretty cold days. March has come in like a lion; we eagerly await the lamb.

Carte de visite by H.H. Freeman of Belvidere, Ill. A man stands next to what appears to be a model of an engineering improvement. He may have been the brain behind the invention, and intended this image to be submitted to the patent office in Washington, D.C. Using photography for this came of age when the carte de visite became all the rage in the U.S.
I encourage you to use this image for educational purposes only. However, please ask for permission.

Hattie: Hello, what are you doing?
Tina: I'm inventing kids. Duh! What does it look like?
Hattie: Perhaps kidnapping to start with. Then unscrupulous handling of minors.
Tina: Pah! My dear child, this is science at its best. Only this little chap didn't fit in the oven. A setback I'll admit.
Hattie: Hm. Oh, that little nipper is getting away.
Tina: Quick! Grab the tongs and get him! He'll fit in there for sure.

I made this guy in early 2018, and i personally consider him to be a massive turning point in my proficiency as a builder. The moc itself is a reimagining of an older character in a much sleeker refined style, which ended up being something i would try and stick to ever since.
The old photo i have of him is a bit outdated now as i made several minor changes to the moc each time i went to a new convention or fixed him up from a shelf fall, so i figured he deserved a new photoshoot. I like this pose a lot more too.
His Genius lives despite massive cover-up.
Nikola Tesla's prediction of a smartphone, Collier’s magazine interview, 1926:
"When wireless is perfectly applied the whole earth will be converted into a huge brain, which in fact it is, all things being particles of a real and rhythmic whole. We shall be able to communicate with one another instantly, irrespective of distance.
Not only this, but through television and telephony we shall see and hear one another as perfectly as though we were face to face, despite intervening distances of thousands of miles; and the instruments through which we shall be able to do his will be amazingly simple compared with our present telephone.
A man will be able to carry one in his vest pocket."

I told Apollo about Zhi's and my need for a time machine..and seeing as though Apollo is such a genius, he worked for days and days without food or sleep and finally ...he did it..a time machine that will transport you to any time..for us, Zhi, it is designation..the Victorian era!
I am curious what time everyone would want to go to in Apollo's time machine? Any time is possible! <3

After having a nice lunch on a restaurant by the sea with my mom we had a nice walk through the street market placed by the promenade and this old gramophone just caught my eyes... I just love this kind of things, I think they are so beautiful and fascinating.

"The legs were going to be the most important part. If I can't walk around, I won't be able to do anything at all. So I tackled them first. It was a lot of trial and error, but I finally managed it. I'll need to find a better power system, though."
