Vadne was built at Portsmouth in 1939 to serve the people of Gosport and Portsmouth, carrying passengers across Portsmouth Harbour, but within days of the outbreak of the Second World War she was requisitioned for the Royal Navy's examination service. In January 1943 she was shipped to Sierra Leone for harbour service.
Returned to the ferry company in 1946, Vadne plied Portsmouth Harbour until 1965, when an attempt to increase her internal capacity by removing a bulkhead severely weakened her structural integrity and she was taken out of service.
On the night of 12 July 1957, a collision between Vadne and the Black Swan-class sloop HMS Redpole resulted in the death of one of the 40 passengers. The ferry was holed, but salved and later repaired. This was the first collision and first fatal accident in the 74-year history of the Portsmouth Steam Launch and Towing Company.
Between 1966 and 1981, Vadne served as the clubhouse of the Gosport Cruising Club, before sinking at her moorings near Weevil Lane, in Gosport. A restoration project took place from 1981, but Vadne sank once more in 1983, and at this point was taken to the Maritime Workshop, by Forton Lake.
Brunel's iron ship in Bristol this morning. 4.30am start reminded me why i do not take many images at this time of year. Would have liked a slightly clearer reflection of the ship in the water but the morning light made up for this i feel. I used a Lee 9 stop grad to balance the sky.
Rotterdam (1959) is a former Holland -Amercia-Line passenger ship.
The ship lies in Rotterdam at the 3e Katendrechtse Hoofd.
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...
SS Great Britain is a museum ship and former passenger steamship, which was advanced for her time. She was the longest passenger ship in the world from 1845 to 1854. She was designed by Isambard Kingdom Brunel
A great night's entertainment in good company kindly arranged by Ray McBride, shooting the remains of the SS Denham. The old survey boat met its tragic end with the loss of 8 lives a year into peacetime when it hit a mine a mile off the coast of the Wirral.
Despite the great sky for sunset, I don't think I really did it justice compared to the other lads who posted some really excellent shots. A great subject and another one I will have to go back and have another go.

SS Great Britain is a museum ship and former passenger steamship, which was advanced for her time. She was the longest passenger ship in the world from 1845 to 1854. She was designed by Isambard Kingdom Brunel for the Great Western Steamship Company's transatlantic service between Bristol and New York. 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. She was the first iron steamer to cross the Atlantic, which she did in 1845, in the time of 14 days.
The ship is 322 ft (98 m) in length and has a 3,400-ton displacement. She was powered by two inclined 2 cylinder engines of the direct-acting type, with twin 88 in (220 cm) bore, 6-foot (1.8 m) stroke cylinders. She was also provided with secondary sail power. The four decks provided accommodation for a crew of 120, plus 360 passengers who were provided with cabins and dining and promenade saloons.
When launched in 1843, Great Britain was by far the largest vessel afloat. However, her protracted construction and high cost had left her owners in a difficult financial position, and they were forced out of business in 1846 having spent all their funds re-floating the ship after she was run aground at Dundrum Bay after a navigational error. In 1852 she was sold for salvage and repaired. Great Britain carried thousands of immigrants to Australia from 1852 until converted to 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 scuttled in 1937.[2]
In 1970, following a cash donation by Sir Jack Hayward that paid for the vessel to be towed back to the UK, Great Britain was returned to the Bristol dry dock where she was built. Now listed as part of the National Historic Fleet, she is an award-winning visitor attraction and museum ship in Bristol Harbour, with between 150,000 and 200,000 visitors annually.
These guys need a home. If anyone's giving away a tank (or selling it for a low price) hmu. I'm really loving the new UB tanker and he gets along well with his predecessor

De Rotterdam uit 1959 is het vijfde schip met die naam, in dienst van de Holland-Amerika Lijn (HAL). Het is een van de bekendste naoorlogse Nederlandse passagiersschepen. Het maakte tussen 1959 en eind 2000 het laatste decennium mee van de trans-Atlantische lijnvaart en was daarna een succesvol cruiseschip. Sinds 4 augustus 2008 ligt het stoomschip als drijvende attractie (rondleidingen, hotel-café-restaurant) aan het Derde Katendrechtse Hoofd in de Maashaven in Rotterdam.

My very first ship deep sea, joined as junior engineer and worked my way up to fourth engineer. Did coast, seven voyages and coast, a very happy ship. 11/12/1970 to 28/9/1973

Another in the "cars of tomorrow" series, this one in somewhat CS livery. I actually colored a green windscreen for this but it looked so bad in the photos that I decided to color a clear one in post-processing instead. A few challenges here due to the offset stud-width between the 8-wide front and 7-wide body but I think it came out well, how about you? As always, comments and constructive criticisms welcome, and thanks for looking!!
SS Nomadic, the former White Star Line tender, now on display as part of the Titanic Belfast attraction in the city's Titanic Quarter.
The remains of the SS Denham, which can be seen off the coast of New Brighton during low tides, emerge as a memorial to a terrible accident that killed all but one of her crew.
In 1946 - less than a year after the end of World War II - the 103-ton survey vessel struck a German mine that was still hidden in the waters off New Brighton, despite the bay having been swept for such devices.
This was an organised meet, as you need to know the tides and location as approx 1 mile from the shore line.
SS Charcot was a ship that was constructed for hunting whales in the North Atlantic. The steel ship was built in Tonsberg, Norway in 1923. In 1943 it was sold to the Polar Whaling Company who were based out of southern Labrador. It was then sold to the Hawkes Harbour Whaling Company which were based out of Conception Bay. In 1970 during a storm, the ship broke its moorings and was pushed ashore. Today the rusted hull of the ship peaks through the water and onto a beach near Conception Harbour, 4 km north of Avondale.
Dicky Beach was named after the iron steamboat, the SS Dicky, which ran aground during heavy seas in 1893.It was refloated, but again, heavy seas turned the ship about and back onto the sand where it remains to this day. Dicky Beach remains the only recreational beach in the world to be named after a shipwreck.
A long exposure image of the SS Nornen located on Berrow beach in North Somerset.
I created this image with help from Neil Burnell. He is somewhat a master of this sort of image. A lot more photoshop work than I have ever done before, and the reality is twisted, but I am fond of this sort of art.
