Unser Dorfteich ist groß genug für eine Segelregatta
Our village pond is large enough for a sailing regatta
I've posted a day shot of this ship but I feel like the night shot looks interesting. I just found out Galveston is offering day sails to tourist. Checked it out on line and it's $300 dollars a person. So, looks like I won't be going out for a day sail anytime soon.
A survey ship in a slightly foggy St Katherine docks, which is usually filled with luxury yachts, so this boat looked out of place. Or maybe it was never really there??

This image is completely Artificial Intelligences except for the model and the sky. The first thing I found out about AI images is that it's difficult to manipulate the image. This one look fairly life like. On my first attempts the images came out looking cartoonish.
So, the rest of the story on the water issue is. I live outside of town so I'm not on city water. A private company supplies the water for me and most of my neighbors. They were only suppose to take a certain amount of water from the aquifer and for years have been taking more then their allotment. No one said anything because there was plenty of water. But now that water isn't so plentiful it's a big deal, which is why we're in stage 4 of water restrictions and not allowed to water outside.
After the sinking of the original Pride in May 1986, the Board of Directors of the non-profit public-private agency that operated Pride for the city were reluctant to build a replacement, but an outpouring of unsolicited financial support from the public encouraged the Board into going forward with a new ship. By late summer of 1986, plans for a replacement were under way. The ship was to be named Pride of Baltimore II and serve as a sailing memorial to the original Pride. It was to be another "Baltimore Clipper" topsail schooner that would continue the mission of the first ship. With an insurance payment of just under $500,000, along with a state grant of $1 million, and various contributions from private citizens, students, corporations, and foundations of over $2.5 million, sufficient funds were available to build a new ship and endow an operating fund.
The fifth image in this series of images I took in and around downtown Toronto. The tall ship Empire Sandy, which runs chartered tours along Toronto's waterfront was originally built as an Englishman/ Larch Deep Sea-class tugboat for war service by the British government in 1943. After the war she served a number of different roles under different names. In the early 1970s she was to be sold for scrap, but fortunately got a new lease on life when she was bought by a new owner who had her completely rebuilt and converted as a three-masted schooner in the style of the 1880s.

James Baines, a state of the art clipper passenger ship, launched from the East Boston shipyard of the famous ship builder Donald McKay in 1854. This is my restoration and colorization of Australian photographer and maritime painter Allan C. Green´s (1878-1954) photo of his own painting. The original image is in the Victoria State Library archive. The 81 m (LOA) James Baines was a very fast ship - her top speed, 21 kn (39 km/h) was recorded on June 17, 1856.

From the hilltop there was a lot to be seen, but only for a moment these ships lay under the leaves of this tree. It was a lovely visual moment.
The shipwreck of the MS "Mediterranean Sky" is lying in the shallow waters of Elefsina for the last 20 years and is a beloved destination for photographers.

Niagara was constructed from 1812 to 1813 to protect the vulnerable American coastline on Lake Erie from the British and played a pivotal role in the battle for the lake. Along with most warships that served in the war, Niagara was sunk for preservation on Presque Isle in 1820. Raised in 1913, it was rebuilt for the centennial of the Battle of Lake Erie. After deteriorating, the restoration of Niagara was started again in the 1930s, but was hampered by the lack of funds caused by the Great Depression and remained uncompleted until 1963. A more extensive restoration was carried out in 1988 in which much of the original ship was largely destroyed. The incorporation of new materials and modern equipment makes it ambiguous as to whether it is or is not a replica. (Wikipedia)
The Niagara is the third reconstruction of the original. This two-masted square-rigged sailing vessel was launched in 1988 for the 175th anniversary of the Battle of Lake Erie. (Erie Maritime Museum)
