SS Great Britain is a museum ship and former passenger steamship that was advanced for her time. She was the largest passenger ship in the world from 1845 to 1853. She was designed by Isambard Kingdom Brunel (1806-1859) for the Great Western Steamship Company's transatlantic service between Bristol and New York City. While 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 making her one of the most technologically advanced ships for her time. She wa the first iron steamer to cross the Atlantic Ocean, which she did in 1845, in 14 days.
When launched in 1843, Great Britain was by far the largest vessel ever built. However, her protracted construction time of six years and high cost led to her owners being forced out of business in 1846.
In 1852 she was sold for salvage and repaired, later carrying thousands of emigrants to Australia until being converted to all-sail in 1881.
Three years later she was retired to the Falkland Islands where she was used as a warehouse, quarantine ship and coal hulk until she was scuttled in 1937.
In 1970, Sir Jack Arnold Hayward, OBE (1923-2015) paid for the vessel to be raised and repaired enough for her to be towed north through the Atlantic back to the United Kingdom, and returned to the Bristol dry dock where she had been built 127 years earlier.

12 Months of Panoramosaic (a 365 days series twist)
For this panoramosaic, I shot 35 photos of the ruins of the concrete ship SS Palo Alto docked at the end of the fishing pier in the Seacliff State Beach in Aptos, CA.
I took Ted Orland’s Art Photography class 3 years ago, and he always pushes his students to their limits to create photographic art. That would be the same Ted Orland who squeezed a Bird Book out of me ;). In that class, Ted demonstrated techniques of doing panoramas. He showed the normal stuff, and then showed his take on making panoramic art. At around the same time, I was active with Flickr’s Photography Critique Assignments group where we were doing emulations of famous photographers. One of the choices was David Hockney. I chose Hockney to emulate. I haven’t done any since. Last year, I took Ted’s class again. I mentioned that I wanted to do "landscapes" for my portfolio project. I remember his response was, "You are already doing landscapes. What are you doing different? What challenges are you trying to overcome? How are you going to make art?" These were not the exact words, but they were along those lines. I think I responded with "HDR." So, inspired by Ted Orland and David Hockney, I will attempt to make art with panoramosaics or joiners as Hockney calls them. Let’s call this an experiment as this will be my new series, a monthly this time. Not sure where this is going to go, but either way, I will definitely learn a few things with this photographic journey!

The funnel displays the flag of the Canadian Pacific Railroad and Canadian Pacific Steamships. Although she is obviously a steamship, not a railroad, her primary passenger service involved picking up railway passengers and moving them to Port Arthur/Fort William where they re-boarded trains to continue their journey west. This was less expensive than traveling by rail over the Great Lakes. So effectively, she was an extension of the trans-Canada rail service and an arm of the railroad.

I Death SS sono un gruppo musicale heavy metal italiano, formatosi nel 1977, l'anno in cui avvenne l'esplosione del movimento punk rock. Nonostante utilizzino nomi d'arte stranieri, i membri del gruppo sono tutti italiani. Il gruppo si formò a Pesaro, per poi trasferirsi a Firenze e fu tra i primissimi gruppi metal della penisola.

The SS Algoma Quebecois is a traditional straight deck laker that is designed to carry bulk cargo. It was built in 1963 and unlike many other Great Lakes vessels, it has never been converted to be a self-unloader.

This photo shows a closeup of the pilot house. I assume that the person waving is one of the officers. This individual came out of the pilot house just after the pilot house crossed under the bridge.

Olmax Fabrication LLC debut their production version of the SS Trike at the 2009 AMD Official World Championship of Custom Bike Building located at Champions Park in Sturgis, SD. The SS Trike resembles the classic “Big Wheel” Chopper-style design that we all rode as a kid, which is sure to put a smile on your face no matter how old of a kid you are.
Builder Jason Nieman is entered in the Production Class at the World Championships and will be competing for the gold with other storied manufacturers like Brass Balls Bobbers and Choppers, OCC Motorcycles, Big Bear Choppers and Big Dog Motorcycles just to name a few.
The SS Trike comes with a long list of race-breed features including composite body, a 24-inch Olmax Fabrication polished front rim wrapped in a Metzler, American Racing 14-inch rear wheels and digital speedometer. In addition, the trike sports American Suspension front end, 6 speed or automatic transmission, and a choice of power from Ultima, S&S or TP.
The popular automatic transmission option features a bullet-proof design lifted from automotive racing applications, which met Olmax Fabrication LLC reduced weight and packaging requirements. The design is sourced from a General Motors Powerglide system that is a current racing standard, which delivers smooth and consistent shifts.
Extending in the race inspired theme is a custom 2 into 1 performance pipe that connects into a chambered muffler. The dual exhaust pipe at the rear of the trike delivers a healthy rumble that is a cross between a muscle car and a sweet-stroking Harley.
The SS Trike is designed to comfortably accommodate a variety of enthusiasts from 5’ to 6’2” tall in fewer than 5 minutes. Selecting two different seat heights and three different foot control locations is a snap and easy to do.
The SS Trike is available in all primary colors. Additional options include graphics, Wire-Plus digital speedo, air-ride suspension, a solo seat with enclosed trunk, multiple trim treatments and a black or polished engine.
To see the SS Trike in Sturgis check out the production class at the World Championships located at Champions Park in Sturgis, SD. To speak with builder Jason Nieman in Sturgis, call him at 715-630-9090.

El SS Nomadic es un barco de vapor de la White Star Line, botado el 25 de abril de 1911 en Belfast. Fue construido como transbordador para los transatlánticos RMS Olympic y RMS Titanic.
En 1927 la White Star lo vendió a la Société Cherbourgeoise de Transbordement, que lo utilizó con el mismo nombre. En 1934 fue vendido de nuevo, esta vez a la Société Cherbourgeoise de Remorquage et de Sauvetage, que lo renombró Ingénieur Minard.
El Nomadic es el último barco sobreviviente de la extinta White Star Line.
La Belfast Industrial Heritage (una organización de Irlanda del Norte sin ánimo de lucro), en colaboración con John White y David Scott Beddard (creadores de SaveNomadic.com, un sitio web de peticiones), organizó una petición pública de donaciones con el fin de llevar al Nomadic al astillero Harland and Wolff para su restauración.
El 26 de enero de 2006, el Nomadic fue comprado en una subasta en París por el Departamento de Desarrollo Social de Irlanda del Norte. El coste del barco fue de 171.320 £ (250.001 €); el precio de reserva era de 165.000 £.
El Nomadic salió de El Havre para regresar a Belfast el 12 de julio de 2006, y llegó a donde fue construido el 18 de julio de ese año. El buque fue recibido por el Ministro de Desarrollo Social David Hanson, la concejala Ruth Patterson y entusiastas locales y mundiales. El Nomadic llegó en una gabarra de transporte marítimo, que había sido contratada desde Anchor Marine Transportation Limited. Tras la compra del barco, SaveNomadic.com se convirtió en el sitio web de la Nomadic Preservation Society (Sociedad de preservación del Nomadic).
El coste de la restauración del Nomadic se ha estimado en 7 millones de libras (más de 10 millones de euros). Los comisarios del puerto de Belfast acordaron proporcionar un atracadero temporal para el barco, y fue creado un fondo benéfico para coordinar la recaudación de fondos para la restauración. En 2007, fue incluido en el Registro Nacional de Buques Históricos del Reino Unido.
En febrero de 2011 se anunció que había sido concedido un contrato de 2 millones de libras a los constructores originales del Nomadic, Harland and Wolff, con el fin de restaurar su casco y reconstruir la superestructura del buque. Los fondos para el proyecto vinieron del EU Peace III Programme.
