Alright, so a photo through a rain streaked window isn't ground breaking material... The flag with the SS United States was an interesting combination to me, anyway.

SS Nornen on Berrow Beach.
When the tide goes out at Berrow, near Burnham-On-Sea, the bones of a long dead ship stick out of the sands as a stark reminder of a savage gale and a gallant rescue at the end of the last century. It all started during the first days of March 1897 when a howling south westerly gale swept up the Bristol Channel, bringing with it high seas, driving snow and sleet. Many ships soon found themselves in distress, among them the Norwegian barque SS Nornen which had tried out to ride out the storm in the lee of the Lundy Roads 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. The heroic rescue of the ship's crew The John Godfrey Morris lifeboatWhen the mists cleared on the morning of March 3, the crippled ship was spotted just off Gore Sands, her sails blown to rags by the gale. Down the ramp to her aid went the Burnham lifeboat, the John Godfrey Morris which had been on station at the town for the last ten years. Launched down the rails on the jetty, the 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. The rescue is recorded on the honours board of rescues made by the three lifeboats at Burnham during the period from 1867 to 1930 and which today stands in the entrance to the Burnham RNLI Station. The wreck remains there today. After the rescue, the sea pounded and smashed the ship and although attempts were made to lighten and refloat her, she was finally sold as a wreck. Today, when the tide goes out, children play amid the timbers of the ship wreck, which lies just north of St Mary's Parish Church at Berrow.

This bike is a speed demon on the freewheel side and a dream for skidding on the fixed side. The Power Grips straps are drilled and screwed into the pedals for extra strength. The pursuit bars make leaning forward easy on skids, and help tremendously when climbing or sprinting.
Sadly, this bike is just a little too small for me. Of course, I had to put like 400 miles on it before I figured that out!

A contemporary model of the full-rigged ship SS Sudbourne at the Science Museum, South Kensington, 15 November 2008. She was built by Wigham Richardson, Wallsend and was launched in 1884. She weighed 1,750 gross tons. She sank in 1890.
SS Nomadic is a steamship of the White Star Line, launched on 25 April 1911 in Belfast. She was built as a tender to the liners RMS Olympic and RMS Titanic, she is now the last surviving White Star Line vessel in the world.
The Northern Ireland Department for Social Development set up a voluntary charitable trust[2] in December 2006, to take ownership of the vessel and oversee it's conservation and restoration. The Trust consists of 12 trustees including historians, martime experts and enthusiasts.
The stated aim of the Trust is: To restore the SS Nomadic and to make her accessible to the public, to ensure she can play a key role in the ongoing celebration of the Titanic, ensure a lasting legacy to celebrate our maritime and industrial heritage and as a catalyst for tourism, social and economic development.
The beautiful and elegant Rotterdam has a crew of 584 to pamper 1,341 guests. She is 780 ft. long and 106 ft. wide and weighs in at 61,849 gross tons. She is powered by 5 diesel generators with a total power of 78,696 horse power.
Derelict two masted wooden steam schooner that hauled lumber on the Pacific Coast beginning in 1915. It was eventually bought by the San Francisco Maritime Museum in 1950 with the intent to restore the ship. After a number of Bureaucratic changes and later, delays due to money and staff issues, the schooner was dismantled by the National Park Service in 2011, even though it was a National Historic Landmark.
I took this photo in 1987 in Sausalito, California.
