Boat moored at the Canal Basin down by the Falkirk Kelpies.
The Kelpies are 30 metre high horse-head sculptures, standing next to the Forth and Clyde Canal in Falkirk, Scotland.[1] The sculptures were designed by sculptor Andy Scott and were completed in October 2013.[2] The sculptures form a gateway at the eastern entrance to the Forth and Clyde canal, and the new canal extension built as part of The Helix land transformation project. The Kelpies are a monument to horse powered heritage across Scotland.[3]
The sculptures will open to the public in Spring 2014,[4] ahead of the opening of a visitor centre in April 2014.[5] As part of the project, they will have their own visitor centre, and sit beside a newly developed canal turning pool and extension. This canal extension reconnects the Forth and Clyde Canal with the River Forth, and improves navigation between the East and West of Scotland.

Aboard the Battleship North Carolina, at Battleship Park, near Wilmington, North Carolina. I visited here the USS North Carolina (BB 55), a North Carolina-class battleship, now a museum ship. This battleship was launched in 1940, commissioned in 1941 and served in World War II in the Atlantic and Pacific theaters. She has been at this location as a museum ship since 1962. I visited this ship on April 13, 2018.
A London & North Western Railway permissive block telegraph instrument from/to Altrincham signal box on Through Siding lines on the block shelf in Navigation Road signal box. Saturday 28th January 1989
Navigation Crossing signal box was located by the Down Main line alongside Navigation Road level crossing in Altrincham and opened in 1882 replacing an earlier signal box located on the opposite side of Navigation Road level crossing. It was a Saxby & Farmer type 9 design fitted with a 20 lever Saxby & Farmer frame built by signalling the contractors Saxby & Farmer for the Manchester South Junction and Altrincham Railway. It was renamed Navigation Road in the early 1930s, possibly in conjunction with the opening of Navigation Road railway station 20th July 1931. A replacement 20 lever Railway Executive Committee frame was installed in June 1947 by the London Midland & Scottish Railway Company. The signal box closed on 6th July 1991, control of Navigation Road level crossing passing to Deansgate Junction signal box by means of closed circuit television although the equipment was not commissioned until 22nd July 1991

I found these pictures of nineteenth-century kite-powered carriages in a book extolling their use at the library. A pity that the colour picture does not have a sequel in which belligerent men with high collars, huge sideburns and the complexion of rare roast beeves confer to untangle the calamitous mess that the sporting winds have made of their mode of transport.
GAETA, Italy (August 13, 2012) – Gunner’s Mate 3rd Class Pritam Sahni, a Sailor stationed aboard USS Mount Whitney (LCC 20), mans a 25mm Bushmaster cannon as Mount Whitney prepares to get underway from Gaeta, Italy. Mount Whitney, homeported in Gaeta, Italy, is the U.S. 6th Fleet flagship and operates with a combined crew of U.S. Sailors and Military Sealift Command civil service mariners. The civil service mariners perform navigation, deck, engineering, laundry and galley service operations while military personnel aboard support communications, weapons systems and security.

A navigational buoy spotted in Key West on July 16, 2012.
I assume that the thing that looks like a spray can on top is a solar powered light signal, but what about the "antennas" to keep seagulls away or for transmitting its postion in case the buoy get lose after a hurricane...?
Anyone who can shed some light on this? George..?
This image depicts the Hawkesbury Steam Navigation Company's ferry SS ERRINGHI possibly moored at Port Erringhi, NSW. ERRINGHI was purchased by the company in 1912 and traded on the Hawkesbury River up to the late 1940s. The vessel was scuttled off Sydney Heads in 1951.

To help mariners steer clear of the Runnel Stone. If the red one completely obscures the black-and-white one then the mariner is above (or on) the rocks. I looked for an information notice about these but couldn't find one on the red one. I decided that there wouldn't be such a notice on the black-and-white one so went back to the path and continued on walking the South West Coast Path. Of course, whilst reading on the internet about these markers I found out that there is an information notice on the black-and-white marker. Hmm.

Members of the Wilmington District's special purpose vessel CURRITUCK prepare to dump dredged material on the beach at Assategue Island National Seashore to help reduce erosion. The shallowdraft vessel can deposit material in a minimum of six feet of water. Waves then sculpt the material for a natural look.

This is the main Tamaya (Jupiter?) on the MV\ BERNARD F FISHER. Brass arc fused with an aluminum frame. This is the sextant I use most at sea.
I don't know what this structure is called but I suspect that it's for navigation of ships, either coming to harbour or passing through the straight. It's one of a series of them along the shore. If anyone knows, please tell me.
