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!

Reading about the imminent removal of the SS Dicky shipwreck from near Caloundra on the Sunshine coast got me looking back at some photos I took at dawn a couple of years ago, and this prompted me to reprocess a couple of them using Lightroom 5. Here's the result. It will be a shame to see this wreck gone...
I found this image quite a while ago , apart from the fact that it is the SS France, its a stunning image and i can't find it again.
I have no idea of the artist, or how i even found it in the first place.
I am not convinced that it is not cropped as it looks as though there should be a bit more surrounding landscape.
Can anyone help in any way ?
The SS france is one of my all time favorites, i was obviously doing a search at the time, but i am having great difficulty finding it again.
These last remains of this old Steam ship will soon be gone forever as local council plan to remove the rusted skeleton from the beach. It has stood a s a warning to ships passing through the channel since 1893, like the one in the distance
Hehe, Ivo and I had to wait for our decompression time. So we hang out at the boat´s rope and look what happend. In the back you can see the SS Thistlegorm. We are at about 6m depth and the SS Thistlegorm is at about 20m depth there.
The school was started on the 1st of September so I havent got enough time to paint or build lego :( . But I will try to paint an SS officer and something else soon.
I painted an other Oak leaf spring cammo because I really like it.
The wreckage of the American Star SS America seen from land side, Fuerteventura, Canary Islands.
SS America was an ocean liner built in 1940 for the United States Lines and designed by the noted naval architect William Francis Gibbs. She carried many names in the 54 years between her construction and her 1994 wrecking, as she served as the SS America (carrying this name three different times during her career), the USS West Point, the SS Australis, the SS Italis, the SS Noga, the SS Alferdoss, and the SS American Star. She served most notably in passenger service as the SS America, and as the Greek-flagged SS Australis for Chandris. In 1941, she carried two Nazi spies from the Duquesne Spy Ring in her crew: Erwin Wilhelm Siegler and Franz Joseph Stigler. Both men were charged by the FBI with espionage and sentenced to 10 years and 16 years' imprisonment, respectively.

Final images from the FOCUS trip to QLD organised by Tim Poulton.
This was our last stop - the Dicky Beach, where the SS Dicky ran aground during heavy seas in 1893.
Had a great time away and shot many locations that I would normally have never been able to get to.
Thank you John, Bruce, Jay, Dex and Tim for the awesome trip!

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.
This is the SS panzer wrap you saw in an earlier picture. If you look closely, you can see I'm not wearing a service shirt. Wrap with the 1st SS LAH schulterklappe or shoulder boards. Items are black feldhose, schnurschuhe or ankle boots is what they are, belt and plane tree field cap since I do not have the black side cap or field cap and the panzer wrap.
