The SS Atlantus was a concrete ship built for use as a troop carrier. It was launched in 1918, but ran aground in 1926, where it remains to this day. When I was a kid it was relatively intact, but this is all that is left. I was fortunate to capture the Cape May-Lewes ferry passing in the background while I was taking this shot.
Yeah, what should I say about it? :3

You see the rest ;)
The fifth SS Rotterdam, also known as "The Grande Dame", is a former ocean liner and cruise ship, and has been a hotel ship in Rotterdam, the Netherlands, since 2010. She was launched by Queen Juliana of the Netherlands in a gala ceremony on 13 September 1958, and was 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.
Diving conditions on the SS Yongala were not ideal, but we managed three dives that day. This was taken at the bow of the wreck, and gives you a glimpse at the size of the actual ship.
Seen while parked at the local Ace Hardware store. This 1962 Impala SS bore the emblem of the famous 409 V8, subject of the namesake song by The Beach Boys.
Dicky Beach is a suburb of the Sunshine Coast, Queensland, Australia, located within the Caloundra urban centre.
The area was named after the iron steamboat, the SS Dicky, which ran aground during heavy seas in 1893. It was re-floated, 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. (Wikipedia)

The first ship to utilise screw propeller, designed and built by the brilliant IK Brunel, part of the historic dockside museum in Bristol, England
The lovely 300 ton SS Robin was built in 1890 and is the oldest complete example left of a surviving coastal steam cargo vessel (a coaster). She has been restored internally and externally using traditional methods where possible to retain her Victorian character and is now on permanent display at the Royal Victoria Dock in east London. Close by is the Royal Victoria Bridge spanning the dock (see previous shot). This ship is one of London's best kept secrets and is now a protected national treasure.
To get there take either the DLR Railway or better still travel down the river on one of the Clipper Cruisers, get off at the O2 (old Millenium Dome) and take the new Emirates Air Line Gondola (also known as The Thames Cable Car) over the river where you can walk to the Royal docks. Altogether a thrilling experience. Oh, to sail away on this little gem!
Looks good on black.

The SS United States is the fastest ocean liner ever built and the largest built in America. Her future is uncertain, so please help the SS United States Conservancy in their efforts to restore and preserve her as a waterfront development and museum. www.ssunitedstatesconservancy.org
It has been a real struggle to get some photos this weekend due to the horrendous weather conditions. It eased up here today and so I ducked to the beach to get some photos of the old favourite, the SS Dicky wreck. I thought with the sea foam around it would make a unique shot of a well known landmark.
Polarising filter and 3 stop ND filter to get some movement in the foam and water.

Built by the San Francisco Shipbuilding Company in Oakland as an oil tanker, the Palo Alto was launched on May 29, 1919. She remained docked in the San Francisco Bay for over 10 years and was then purchased by the Seacliff Amusement Company of Nevada and towed to Seacliff State Beach in Aptos, California. The ship was grounded in the bay and connected to the shore by a long pier. An arcade, dining room, dance hall and even a swimming pool were built on the ship.
Unfortunately, the Seacliff Amusement Company went out of business two years later under the financial crunch of the Great Depression. Then, in winter, a storm cracked the ship across her midsection. The Palo Alto was stripped of all salvagable metal and fixtures and turned into a fishing pier.
On our way to Laren I saw a Mercedes SLR McLaren. In Laren I saw a Buggati Veyron and this EB 110 SS, and on my way back home I saw a Lamborghini Muciélago!!

SS Oster is a Norwegian steamship built in 1908 by Christianssands Mekaniske Værksted for the Indre Nordhordlandske Dampskibsselskab. She sailed between Bergen and Osterfjorden in Norway with passengers and goods from 1908 until World War II when she was acquired as a guard ship by the Royal Norwegian Navy and later by the German Navy. After the war the vessel was in need of maintenance and modernization before she could be put back in service in 1956. As the only coal-powered steamer left in Bergen, SS Oster became a symbol of the old fjord steamers on the western coast. However, the boat was sold and rebuilt as a freighter in 1964, and the steam-engine was replaced with a more modern diesel engine. In 1996 she was bought by Nordhordland Veteranbåtlag who restored the ship back to her original state as a steam-driven passenger ship. She now sails with tourists on special occasions.
