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.
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.

The SS. Lobster is well known as one of the fastest cargo transporters to ever fly! Led by Captain Jekr and his crew the SS. Lobster is armed with two turrets and a special gun, just for Jo-Jo. So far it's lived up to it's reputation, On time, every time.
Well it's finally done!
Thanks to all who helped my in the WIP stages, yes J4ke, that's mostly you. ;-)

The German chancellor has already announced that for him there are no more red lines.
For 1965, the styling of Chevrolet’s full-size model such as the Impala changed significantly. “Coke Bottle” styling in which the fender line was arched over the wheel wells was introduced as was curved side window glass. Its popularity contributed to a phenomenal 10 million car sales year n the US for 1965.
This one apparently shows an emblem for the 327 cu. in. V-8 engine.
Celebrating her 75th year on the Lakes, the Alpena arrives in Duluth with a load of cement for LaFarge in Superior.
The SS Edmund Fitzgerald was an ore freighter that sailed on the Great Lakes in the United States from 1958-1975. Measuring 729 feet long with a beam of 75 feet and a depth of 39 feet, at the time of her launching she was the largest ship to sail the American Great Lakes and held many records for load, speeds, and other benchmarks. She sank with all 29 of her crew members on November 10, 1975 in a very bad winter storm. There was no distress call and no survivors to recount what happened that day, but a popular theory is that a phenomenon known on the lakes as the Three Sisters, a set of three gigantic waves that occurs periodically in very bad weather, caught up with an already-damaged Fitz and drove it to the bottom in seconds, the force of which broke the ship in half on its way down. The wreck diorama is how the ship lays today in about 530 feet of water at the bottom of Lake Superior.
The Jaguar SS 100 is a British 2-seat sports car built between 1936 and 1939 by SS Cars Ltd of Coventry, England.
The manufacturer's name 'SS Cars' used from 1934 maintained a link to the previous owner, Swallow Sidecar, founded in 1922 by Walmsley and Lyons to build motorcycle sidecars. In March 1945 the S. S. Cars shareholders agreed to change the name to Jaguar Cars Limited.
In common with many products of the thirties the adoption of an animal name was deemed appropriate and the model name "Jaguar" was given to a new SS saloon car in 1935, and then to all new SS models.
The '100' was for the theoretical 100 mph maximum speed of the vehicle.
The SS Rotterdam, permanently moored in the port of Rotterdam, is a floating heritage ship that now also houses a hotel and restaurant. HDR made out of 4 exposures.

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.

SS United States was a luxury passenger liner built in 1952 for United States Lines designed to capture the trans-Atlantic speed record.
The ship is the largest ocean liner constructed entirely in the US and the fastest ocean liner to cross the Atlantic in either direction.
She operated uninterrupted transatlantic passenger service until 1969. Since 1996 she has been docked at Pier 82 on the Delaware River in Philadelphia.
Squalus (SS-192) floats on even keel at Portsmouth Navy Yard after removal of bodies, 15 September 1939. Note the position of the bow planes and the condition of the fairwater. The damage caused by the salvage chains and pontoons is evident but hard to make out clearly. You can see how the bridge was crushed.
