The SS Wilfred Sykes steaming down Lake Michigan in a heavy following stern sea created some great bow wave shots!
The fifth SS Rotterdam, known as "The Grande Dame", was launched by Queen Juliana in a gala ceremony on 13 September 1958, and 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.
Originally she was conceived as a running mate to the popular Nieuw Amsterdam launched in 1937, but work was put on hold at the outbreak of World War II in Europe. When economic conditions once again became favorable for completion of the new ship in early 1954, the beginning of the end of ocean liners as basic transport was visible on the horizon. The designers took this in mind and created a groundbreaking vessel, a two class, horizontally divided ship with movable partitions and a unique double staircase allowing for easy conversion to cruising. The christening and launch on September 13, 1958 by Queen Juliana was a huge crowd puller, with tens of thousands on both banks of the river. Rotterdam's machinery was shifted aft, to the now-traditional two thirds aft position, and in lieu of a funnel twin uptake pipes were fitted. To provide balance, a large deckhouse was built atop the superstructure in the midships position of a typical funnel. While very controversial at the time, her appearance became groundbreaking, and her unique design features can be found on cruise ships today.
The SS Rotterdam was a line-and-cruise ship, built in 1959. Today it is an hotel, convention center and museum ship in Rotterdam-Katendrecht.

The Delta Queen is an American sternwheel steamboat. Historically, she has been used for cruising the major rivers that constitute the tributaries of the Mississippi River, particularly in the American South. She was docked in Chattanooga, Tennessee and served as a floating hotel until she was bought by the newly formed Delta Queen Steamboat Company. She was towed to Houma, Louisiana, in March 2015 to be refurbished to her original condition.
Prompt: A wide-angle, ultra-realistic digital fine art of the historic steamboat SS Delta Queen sailing gracefully along the Mississippi River. The paddlewheel steamboat is depicted in exquisite detail, with its iconic red sternwheel churning through the water and creating rippling waves. The multi-deck vessel features ornate railings, rows of white-framed windows, and black smokestacks with a red tip. The name “DELTA QUEEN” is prominently displayed on the red paddlewheel housing.
The riverboat is surrounded by calm, reflective water, bordered by a lush green tree line in the distance. The sky is expansive with soft pastel clouds and early evening light casting a serene glow across the scene. The overall composition captures the nostalgic charm and historic grandeur of this legendary American vessel.
Accuracy: Match all architectural details and color tones as closely as possible to the original reference image

La Capillita del Carmen, “El Mechero”, es uno de los símbolos del barrio de Triana.
Se construye para alojar el cuadro de la Virgen del Carmen ubicado en la antigua capilla que en el mismo lugar iniciaba el Puente de Barcas, puente flotante formado por trece barcas, cuando este se sustituye por el de hierro de Isabel II, al que se le llama Puente de Triana.
En la veleta de su campanario, un Sereno, y rematando la cúpula de azulejos la figura de las santas Justa y Rufina, hermanas cristianas en la Traiana romana que fueron sometidas a martirio, pues al negarse a dar donativo a la diosa Venus, por ser para ellas un ídolo del mismo barro con el que fabricaban sus vasijas, en la pelea la figura de la diosa cayó y se hizo añicos. Representadas sosteniendo a la Giralda pues según la tradición evitaron su desplome en el terremoto de 1504 y ¡como no! patronas del gremio de los olleros de Triana desde su constitución en el siglo XVI.

STANDING PROUDLY IN
BRISTOL HARBOUR
Brunel’s S S Great Britain’s launched , in 1843 was the largest ship in the world. Also the first screw-propelled, ocean-going, iron-hulled steam ship – a revolutionary vessel and fore-runner of all modern shipping.
Voted the second Greatest Briton of all time, after Winston Churchill, Isambard Kingdom Brunel was one of the 19th century engineering giants. His achievements, still part of our everyday lives and landscape, are a lasting testament to his far-sighted genius.
Designed for the emerging trans-Atlantic luxury passenger trade, the ship carried 252 first and second class passengers and 130 crew. Brunel’s innovative approach to engineering marked the beginnings of international passenger travel and world communications.
First a luxury liner, then running aground in 1846, next carrying 15,000 emigrants to Australia, then converted to sail as a cargo ship and finally acting a floating warehouse. In the thirty years between her scuttling and recovery the elements had taken their toll on her iron hull. At the time of her rescue she was in a poor state, and her hull so corroded, it was feared she would not last another six months.
RACE AGAINST TIME
The dry dock in Bristol was a fitting location for the return of Brunel’s ss Great Britain. But it held a potentially threat, namely water. Despite its name the dry dock is far from dry. High levels of moisture in the air, and the rain, meant that once home the ship continued to corrode. Time was running out. Researchers from Cardiff University estimated that corrosion could destroy the ship within a few years. But they also found that the ship could survive if kept in a very dry environment, protected from humidity.

Atlantic Conveyor was a British merchant navy ship, that was requisitioned for the Falklands/Malvinas War in 1982.
The ship was used to transport Harriers, Helicopters and other equipments to the South Atlantic.
On 25 of May 1982 two Super Etendard Attack Planes launched Exocet Missiles against the British Fleet; two Exocets hit the Atlantic Conveyor, starting a major fire that totally destroyed the ship and killing 12 men of the crew.
During my recent visit to London I visited the monument dedicated to the crew of this ship. More info on my Youtube video about the attack here:
The model:
I made this ship with a very limited number of dark blue parts for the hull, so the ship is not made to the same scale as the other ships of the Falklands/Malvinas War Display.

P&O liner, SS Canberra. One of the last true ocean liners before the advent of the Cruise Ship.
Showing off her sleek lines and a design which optimised space and grace as opposed to the more modern cruise vessels where maximising the number of passengers leads to the ‘floating hotel’ boxy shape. Shot in 1986 using an Olympus OM40

SS United States is a retired ocean liner built in 1950–51 for the United States Lines at a cost of US$79.4 million.[1] The ship is the largest ocean liner constructed entirely in the United States and the fastest ocean liner to cross the Atlantic in either direction, retaining the Blue Riband for the highest average speed since her maiden voyage in 1952.
The acclaimed SS Dicky shipwreck, right in front of me. This was the headlining location of our fantastic recent Qld expedition – the trip had built up to this very shot and to be honest, I wasn’t disappointed!
Sure, I admit, I don’t think the photos taken from this morning were the best from the trip but sometimes, photography is more about the experience than then an award winning shot – and this was the perfect reminder!
The SS dicky really is a photographers utopian seascape location and would have to rank amongst one of the best in the country. Any search will reveal a magnitude of awe-inspiring images taken from this location, shot by some of the best photographers Australia has produced.
So it was our turn – all 6 of us. The sand was higher than some other shots had revealed, the sky didn’t turn out like other shots had shown but we couldn’t have had a better time!
I’ve now shot the SS Dicky shipwreck and that ain’t changing!
