The fifth SS Rotterdam, also known as "The Grande Dame", is a former ocean liner and cruise ship, and has been a hotel ship in Rotterdam, Netherlands since 2010. She was launched by Queen Juliana of the Netherlands in a gala ceremony on 13 September 1958, and was completed the following summer.
The Rotterdam was the last great Dutch "ship of state", employing the finest artisans from the Netherlands in her construction and fitting out process. Her career spanned forty-one years. She sailed from 1959 until her final retirement in September 2000.

The wreck of a German cargoship the 'SS Werner Kunstmann' on Goswick Sands, Northumberland.
Shrouded in mystery, the Werner Kunstmann is reputed to have been scuppered following reports that she was on route to supply her cargo of iron ore to German factories which had been building up in their preparations for the start of World War 1.
Launched 1891, wrecked on 14 January 1913.

The wreck of the SS Ayrfield sits in the Parramatta river at Homebush Bay, Sydney adjacent to the Sydney Olympic Park and serves as a gigantic pot plant or container for mangroves.
After 80 years, the SS Point Reyes, a photographer's destination, may finally be reaching her demise as storms approach. The recent weather has taken a toll and she doesn't have might fight left against the mighty ocean and winds.
This much photographed vessel was built in 1944 as a World War II launch boat to bring soldiers from aircraft carriers in the Bay Area to shore.
For more than 20 years it sat at this spot in Inverness, waiting for the owner to do a restoration. It never happened.
After tourists and photographers discovered the unique wreck, more damage was done by people climbing onboard. One photographer even started a fire as he attempted to get a shot with glowing sparks around her in the night.
If you search Flickr for The Point Reyes in Inverness, you'll find many photos of her over the years.

The wreck of German cargo ship the SS Werner Kunstmann on Goswick Sands, Northumberland. Think I need to return when the tide is even lower!
Sometimes when exploring the local beaches you find a gem. The calm water seen in the 25 sec exposure belies the 45 mph winds I experienced, coupled with sinking sands around the boat made for a challenging capture!
After a little research here is the story of the SS Nornen;
In March 1897 a howling south westerly gale swept up the Bristol Channel, bringing with it high seas, driving snow and sleet.
The Norwegian barque SS Nornen had tried out to ride out the storm but had found her anchors dragging. She was being driven towards Berrow mud flats. The crew desperately tied to save her, but were fighting a losing cause.
Launched down the rails on the jetty, the local lifeboat lifeboat with its crew of ten oarsmen battled through high seas and winds to the SS Nornen. Despite the gale, the lifeboat managed to get alongside the helpless ship, just as she was being driven onto the sands.
The ship's crew of ten, together with their dog, were taken off by the lifeboat and landed safely at Burnham at three o'clock in the afternoon.
Definitely one to revisit, I'm keeping my eye on the fog forecast and calmer winds...

A view down the waterfront at Bristol. We walked about 7 miles around Bristol and enjoyed every minute. On the trail of a certain sheep by the name of Shaun, we found quite a few :)) The sheep treasure hunt is in aid of Children's Charities and all the sheep (various themes) will be auctioned off for the charities. This shot was taken as we were walking up to the bridge to take us across to the SS Great Britain...and yet more sheep! :)
SS Great Britain
Designed by Isambard Kingdom Brunel for the Great Western Steamship Company's transatlantic service between Bristol and New York. The SS Great Britain was the first iron steamer to cross the Atlantic, she did it in 14 days in 1845. Other ships had been built of iron or equipped with a screw propeller, Great Britain was the first to combine these features in a large ocean-going ship.

Made this photo and added the fuji velvia 50 color profile later in photoshop.
An example of the kind of portraiture I like to provide to my customers. What will you create? And is the world ready to see? Hmm...
