This shard of ice on a frozen pond captured the fiery glow of a late afternoon sun. With tree litter scattered over the flat surface and picking up the light, it felt to me like an ice ship, drifting through a galaxy of stars. The still-green leaf, embedded in the top, just made it more so.
The ship used to be home to a bunch of gulls but the cormorants have taken over. The larger birds seem to be making their mark as the masts have taken on a decidedly different coloration

"Sea Fever"
I must go down to the seas again, to the lonely sea and the sky, and all I ask is a tall ship, and a star to steer by
And the wheels kick and the wind's song and the white sails shaking
And a grey mist on the seas face, and a grey dawn breaking.
I must go down to the seas again, for the call of the running tide, is a wild call and a clear call that may not be denied.
And all I ask is a windy day with the white clouds flying
And the flung spray and the brown spume, and the sea gulls flying.
I must go down to the seas again, to the vagrant gypsy life, to the gulls way and the whales way,
where the winds like a whetted knife.
And all I ask is a merry yarn from a laughing fellow rover,
And a quiet sleep and a sweet dream
when the long trick's over.

NOAA Ship Fairweather in Kachemak Bay, Alaska. The Fairweather is designed and outfitted primarily for conducting hydrographic surveys in support of nautical charting, but the ship is capable of many other missions in support of NOAA programs. The Fairweather is equipped with the latest in hydrographic survey technology –- multi-beam survey systems; high-speed, high-resolution side-scan sonar; position and orientation systems; hydrographic survey launches; and an on-board data-processing server. The Fairweather is named for Mt. Fairweather in southeast Alaska, which is the highest peak in the Fairweather Range -- the tallest coastal range on Earth.

Nine tallships loading. My restoration and colorization of Allen C.Green´s photo in the State Library Victoria archive. The Library does not give a date, but, based on the history of the one identifiable ship - the Muscoota - Green must have shot this picture in ab. 1921, possibly in Newcastle, NSW, Australia.
This is what I have found out about the four-masted steel barque Muscoota, which was launched as Buckingham in 1888:
1888 September Launched at the shipyard of T. Royden & Sons, Liverpool, for Macvicar, Marshall & Co., Liverpool. The first master was Captain P. Lyall.
1901Sold to D.H. Wätjen & Co., Bremen, and was renamed Bertha. Captain C. Hüneke resumed command of the ship. Assigned the German official signal GHJN. The German measurements were: 91,06×13,76×7,42 meters and 2695 GRT.
1913 Sold to Rhederei Akt. Gesellschaft von 1896, Hamburg, and was renamed Ottawa. The new master was Captain O. Heinatz. Referred to as a four-masted barque.
1914 Interned in San Francisco at the outbreak of the First World War.1917Condemned by the US Government and renamed Muscoota.
1917 Transferred to the United States Shipping Board, Washington, DC, and renamed Flying Cloud.
1921Renamed Muscoota.(Bruzelius)
"After lying idle in Sydney Harbour from 1922, the barque Muscoota was sold in 1924 and converted—at the Mort's Dock, in 1925—to be a second mechanised coal hulk for Wallarah Coal Company. As a coal hulk, the Muscoota had only one coal hoist. In 1943, she was refitted and was towed to Milne Bay, New Guinea, in early 1944, to recoal ships there. She was involved in an accident with a Dutch steamer during a storm, following which she was towed to nearby Discovery Bay, where she sank slowly."

A side shot of my SHIP (I'd prefer any comments on the main photo please: www.flickr.com/photos/josdu/29599565700/in/dateposted-pub...). As a little spoiler for the build I'll, Lord willing, upload tomorrow, I'll say it's also 100 studs long ;) .
