Taken in 2019. Located in NYC at the Hudson Yards. Looks like it's still closed to the public except for the bottom portion.
Vessel is a relatively recent New York City attraction. It is the centerpiece of Hudson Yards, a major cluster of skyscrapers on the western side of mid-town Manhattan. Vessel consists of 16 levels of interconnected staircases, said to be inspired by stepwells in India. An amazing structure in itself, it also offers great views of Manhattan and the Hudson river, which become better as you climb up.
Unfortunately, it has been closed since last summer. I'm pretty bummed about it. It's been so much fun, while it lasted.
The SRB "Asmus Bremer" and the SRK "Theodor Heuss" of the DGzRS (Deutsche Gesellschaft zur Rettung Schiffbrüchiger, lit.: "German Sea Rescue Society") at the Deutsches Museum in Munich.
Some details about these SAR vessels below:
Right: The SRK "Theodor Heuss" was the lead ship of the "23,2-Meter" 4-ship-class of SRK (Seenotrettungskreuzer, lit.: "rescue cruiser") and the worldwide first ship of an advanced design for seagoing lifeboats with modern propulsion and featuring a piggybacked smaller boat (Tochterboot).
The "Theodor Heuss" was launched in 1957 and christened after the first president of the Federal Republic of Germany.
"Theodor Heuss" was in service from March 7th, 1957 until decomissioning on May 29th 1985.
Note: The ship on display is not the actual "Theodor Heuss", but her sister ship "H. H. Meier". The actual "Theodor Heuss" was sold upon decommissioning and converted to a cabin cruiser under the name of "Jan".
Left: The SRB "Asmus Bremer" is the type vessel of the 17-boat "8,5-Meter" class of SRB (Seenotrettungsboot, lifeboat). These smaller lifeboats are self-rightening and optimized for use in coastal waters, especially the wadden sea, with a very shallow draft.
A special feature is a "rescue gate" at the starboard side near the waterline, which allows to easily pull shipwrecked persons aboard.
"Asmus Bremer" was christened on December 21st 1987 after an early 18-century mayor of Kiel. She remained on duty until final decomissioning in 2012.

Vessel is a structure and landmark which was built as part of the Hudson Yards Redevelopment Project in Manhattan, New York City. The elaborate honeycomb-like structure rises 16 stories and consists of 154 flights of stairs, 2,500 steps, and 80 landings for visitors to climb. Climbed in the morning, a little bit cloudy… the photo was taken on the top of the vessel, views of the sky and the skyline.

The Vessel is a structure and landmark which was built as part of the Hudson Yards Redevelopment Project in Manhattan, New York City, New York. Construction began in April 2017; it opened on March 15, 2019.
Designed by the British architect Thomas Heatherwick, the elaborate honeycomb-like structure rises 16 stories and consists of 154 flights of stairs, 2,500 steps, and 80 landings for visitors to climb. Vessel is the main feature of the 5-acre (2.0 ha) Hudson Yards Public Square.
This Vessel is a General Cargo / Container Ship, Registered in Antigua & Barbuda .She was Built in 2006 and is seen here in the Dock in Hull.
As seen on my travels into the city and a visit to the Hudson Yard area with it's recently opened Vessel. I've been trying to process a single image that captures the magnificence of the structure and it's been tough because the scale of it is so grand, I've attempted a few but none really did it for me. As I was flipping through the shots I stopped on this one and decided to give it a go. It's a pretty straight shot but I added a B&W luminosity layer to bump up the structure a bit. In this case I used the "Pinhole" filter for the B&W conversion and it worked pretty well when I layered it back in, I only needed to lightened up the steps on the left and the people in the lower right. The pinhole layer produced a vignetting that darkened the edges but in a cool way, working more on the copper and keeping the interest toward the center with the elevator.
The extraordinary centerpiece of Hudson Yards is its spiral staircase, a soaring new landmark meant to be climbed. This interactive design piece was imagined by Thomas Heatherwick and Heatherwick Studio as a focal point where people can enjoy new perspectives of the city and one another from different heights, angles and vantage points.
Comprised of 154 intricately interconnecting flights of stairs -- almost 2,500 individual steps and 80 landings -- with nearly one mile of vertical climb above the Public Square and Gardens, this landmark will offer remarkable views.
