Montag maritim – Zur Freude vieler Einheimischer und Touristen läuft gestern Mittag bei bestem Wetter der LPG-Tanker NAVIGATOR SATURN“ in den Rostocker Seekanal ein.
Das 170 Meter lange Schiff wurde im Jahr 2000 in Dienst gestellt und fährt unter der Flagge von Liberia. Die „NAVIGATOR SATURN“ kam von Glomfjord (Norwegen) und hatte Ammoniak für den Import geladen.
Aktuell (20.03.2023 06.00) das Schiff noch im Seehafen Rostock.
The Lisbon Trader, a general cargo ship from Monrovia Liberia, unloads a catamaran from it's deck, yacht in front was unloaded earlier. The ship is moored at Ogden Point docks in Victoria BC Canada. This is a common site here as boats usually made in Asia are delivered to local clients. I think part of the reason this is done is because the boats are probably cheaper to buy offshore. Follow the money...haha!

1954 issue from Liberia commemorating visit from the US President. Liberia was established on land acquired for freed U.S. slaves by the American Colonization Society, which founded a colony at Cape Mesurado in 1821. In 1824 the territory was named Liberia, and its main settlement was named Monrovia, which is the present-day capital. I would guess that the plane is a Douglas DC-2.

I really like experimenting with different ways of making a photo look old and worn. For this image, I used a gradient mask to simulate a tintype effect, then some texture overlays for the aged look.
