The Australian-built replica of James Cook's HMB Endeavour is one of the world's most accurate maritime replica vessels.
When you come on board you may wonder whether James Cook and his crew have just stepped ashore somewhere on their voyage. The table is set, clothes are hung and the cat is slumbering.
On board the beautifully crafted ship, you glimpse a sailor's life during one of history's great maritime adventures, Captain Cook's epic 1768-71 world voyage. Look and you'll see almost 30 kilometres of rigging and 750 wooden blocks or pulleys! The masts and spars carry 28 sails that spread approximately 10,000 sq feet (930 m2) of canvas.
In the galley below is the huge stove, called a firehearth - state of the art in 1768. The Great Cabin is where Cook worked and dined, sharing the space with famous botanist Joseph Banks, as you can see when you glance around.
Construction of the Endeavour replica began in 1988 and the ship was launched 5 years later.
I built this little pig initially for a different category, but I liked the thing so much I decided to use it on a vignette. So this is my entry for the 12x12 Vignette category in this year's Summer Joust.

The ZIPP 2001 is, to me, arguably the sexiest and most aerodynamic bicycle frame ever designed. Mounted it on my trainer and did an 80-min Spinerval session. We went really fast standing still! ;-P
Excerpts from Zack Vestal's Tech Feature – A Zipp through time
The 2001 frame was unlike anything previously available. With a massive wing-shaped downtube, no seat tube and a flexible beam acting as both a top tube and perch for the saddle, the wild frame was not widely accepted in the very traditional ranks of pro road riders. But it was a hit on the upstart triathlon scene and came to embody the technologically progressive Zipp brand in the 1990s.
Hallways in the building testify to the Zipp company’s early success.
“The cool thing about the Zipp bike coming out of the early 90s is how modern it is: the cables routed behind the stem, the rear brake under the chainstay,” said Poertner. Both of these features can be found on current aero bikes. “These bikes were very special, very expensive and only about 200 were made per year,” he continued. “These were literally made alongside noseboxes and wings for racecars, for the whole time they were being made.”
Each frame required 45 to 50 hours of labor and the cost was extraordinary, even by today’s standards. But this no-holds-barred approach to the pursuit of technology and the commitment to domestic production, set the tone for Zipp’s approach to the cycling market in the ensuing years.
In fact, continuing the technological progression even farther, the 1996 Zipp 3001 frameset marked the first non-aerospace use of boron incorporated with carbon fiber. The heavier material is quite strong in compression and has recently been used again, in modern carbon road bars, to reinforce the stem clamp zone.
The UCI eventually outlawed the design and the frame was discontinued at the end of 1997. But not before multiple Hawaii Ironman victories and time trial championships established the Zipp name at the head of the class in aerodynamic development.

Built to command an important river crossing, the castle built in stone by Gundulf, Bishop of Rochester, in the 1080s was one of the earliest such buildings in England. In 1127 Henry I entrusted it to the Archbishop of Canterbury, who began to build the great keep – a masterpiece of medieval architecture, and the tallest such building to survive in Europe. The castle endured three sieges, including a famous assault by King John in 1215, when one corner of the keep was destroyed. Although it became redundant as a royal stronghold in the late Middle Ages and fell into ruin in the 17th century, it remains a potent symbol of medieval secular power.
Built 14th - 15th century but mostly rebuilt in the 1800's after a fire. A church was founded here in the 13th century.

Built in 1947, the Sabine Theatre is most likely the 1947 project for the Southern Amusement Company that is found in this list of drawings by Lake Charles, Louisiana, architect John M. Gabriel. It was acquired by the town of Many in the mid-1990’s and is now used for live theatre by the Sabine Parish Players, as well as musical performances, occasional movies, and other community events. It was also featured in the “downtown scenes” in the movie The Man in The Moon.

Newnes Hotel.
Built in 1907 to satisfy the thirst of those who worked at the former shale oil refinery that was established in what was then known as Wolgan.
It was renamed Newnes in 1907 to honour Sir George Newnes who was at that time the chairman of the Commonwealth Oil Corporation.
Scattered around the surrounding landscape of Newnes reminders of the shale refinery’s past can be found although none of it is intact.
The only surviving building to remain intact is the Newnes Hotel (although it is non-operational as a hotel) but today it serves as a kiosk and a museum.
For those seeking solitude there are a few holiday cabins with the grounds of the hotel.
It was seriously threatened with oblivion in 1986 when the swollen Wolgan River threatened the hotel with rising floodwaters and so it was decided to preserve the building by relocating it to its current site well beyond the reach of flood waters.
Today the Newnes Hotel stands as silent testament to what was once, a shale oil refinery operation that was located within the Wolgan Valley.

“The abstract building cladded in six different types of glass stands like a bowl at the core of medical university Karolinska Institutet in Sweden. The auditorium seats 1000 persons. As Karolinska Institutet selects the Nobel Prize laureates in medicine or physiology, there has been a demand for a large venue for their lectures. The façade of glass on a glulam structure is wrapped around the building that leans heavily over the highway, announcing the presence of research and education in the cities of Stockholm and Solna.”

The Saskatchewan Legislative Building was built between 1908 and 1912 in the Beaux Arts style to a design by Edward and William Sutherland Maxwell of Montreal. The Maxwells also supervised construction of the building by the Montreal company P. Lyall & Sons, who later built the Centre Block of the federal Parliament Building in Ottawa after the 1866 Parliament Building was destroyed by fire in 1916. Piles began to be drilled for the foundations during the autumn of 1908 and in 1909 the Governor General of Canada, the Earl Grey, laid the cornerstone. In 1912, Prince Arthur, Duke of Connaught, by then the serving governor general, inaugurated the building.
People enjoying a boat race on Wascana Lake north of the Legislative Building circa 1910.
The design contemplates expansion of the building by the addition of wings extending south from the east and west ends and coming together to form a courtyard. The plans originally called for the exterior of the building to be red brick but after construction had begun and red bricks were already on the site, Premier Walter Scott decided that Manitoba Tyndall stone would give the building greater grandeur and the plans were adjusted with the substitution increasing the building cost by $50,000. The total cost of construction came to $1.75 million by the time of its opening in October 1912, ten months after the assembly had begun meeting in the yet-uncompleted building.
Of historical significance, the table that was used during the meeting of the Fathers of Confederation in Quebec City in 1864 resides in the building's library, albeit with six feet of it removed. Lieutenant-Governor Edgar Dewdney of the North-West Territories brought the table to Regina, which was the capital of the territory at the time. It was used in the offices of the Indian commissioner for Manitoba and the North-West Territories until 1896. Six feet of the table length was removed from the middle so that it could fit within the limited confines of the Prince Edward Building, the temporary home of the Legislative Assembly of Saskatchewan while the Saskatchewan Legislative Building was under construction.

Built back in 1821, Bardsey lighthouse is the tallest square lighthouse in the UK, and its traditional rotating lantern was replaced back in 2014 with red LED lighting in an effort to stop migrating sea-birds coming to the island being attracted by the light and striking the lighthouse.
We chose a beautifully clear night under the stars and the occasional perseid meteor to head over to that end of the island and have a look around, being careful not to disturb many of the 20,000 or so manx shearwater birds nesting all over the island through the night. They fly back onto the island after dark en-masse at around 11pm to their burrows and chicks before heading back out to sea again at 4am and during that time the island seemed to come to life with the sound of their cackling calls. Once we'd heard them arriving back on the first night there, it was something we looked forward to every night afterwards.
This is the US built yacht Iduna (ex. Yampa), bought by Kaiser Wilhelm II of Germany in 1897. My restoration and colorization of an image in the IWM archive.
Yampa, designed by naval architect Archibald Cary Smith, was built by Harlan and Hollingsworth in Wilmington (Delaware) for US rail baron and Congressman Chester W. Chapin in 1887.
"She was considered the best in her class until 1891. The Yampa was 135 ft (41 m) overall, 110 ft (34 m) at the water line, and her draft was 13.8 ft (4.2 m). She had a registered tonnage of 162 tons net and 170 gross, with a beam of 27 ft (8.2 m). She participated in various events related to the America's Cup, a trophy award for best in a match race between two sailing yachts of different countries¨.
(Wikipedia)
In December 1894 Chapin sold Yampa to Richard Suydam Palmer. Palmer took her to Southampton (England) in 1897 on the occasion of Queen Victoria´s Diamond Jubilee. From there he went to Kiel (Germany), where he anchored Yampa close to the Emperor´s yacht SMY Hohenzollern.
" The emperor liked the schooner and sought to purchase it. Palmer had left his business card on the SMY Hohenzollern and was informed that the emperor talked all day about how he liked the American vessel. The emperor immediately then took steps to acquire her for himself, and bought the yacht from Palmer in December 1897. The schooner was a birthday present for his wife Augusta Victoria of Schleswig-Holstein. The ship went to Southampton to be refitted to the emperor's luxurious specifications. The German Royal family took many cruises on the Yampa which carried the Empress's flag; she was renamed Iduna and participated in several European regattas. In 1898, she competed in the international Emperor’s Cup regatta. That same year, she was outfitted to race against the schooner Rainbow."

PS
I have received this additional information from Wolfgand Hasenbrink:
""Iduna"had survived the war(1914-18) well, in 1918 the Kiel butcher M.Glaser bought the yacht who sold her in 1920 to the Hamburg merchant Hans Lemp. In 1921, the American Herbert Howland acquired "Iduna"and christened her to the original name "Yampa". Next owner was the Norwegian Melson who renamed her "Atavella". In 1934 the ship unfortunately burned down completely and was stuck from the Lloyd's Register."
Built of travertine, tuff, and brick-faced concrete, it is the largest amphitheatre ever built. The Colosseum is situated just east of the Roman Forum. Construction began under the emperor Vespasian in AD 72, and was completed in AD 80 under his successor and heir Titus. Further modifications were made during the reign of Domitian (81–96). These three emperors are known as the Flavian dynasty, and the amphitheatre was named in Latin for its association with their family name (Flavius).

I was driving home, after a nice hiking day, when I saw this old guy. I think he is still a proud worker.
My little son goes mad for tractors, I took this one to make a big print to hang in his bedroom.

Built in July 1959 the railroad’s Burnham Shop in Denver, former Aspen gold and silver Rio Grande caboose No. 01483 sits in a vacant lot at Fremont, Nebraska, on May 22, 2014.
Built in 1929 by the New York Central Railroad Company, as its headquarters.
Before this, the electrification of New York's trains had meant that it was no longer necessary to vent the smoke of coal-fired locomotives, so railroad tracks could run underground. Burying the northern tracks allowed construction of the road now known as Park Avenue, from which this photo was taken. It also freed a building site overlooking Park Avenue - just to the north of Grand Central Terminal - for the construction of this Beaux-Arts masterpiece.
After WWII the company's position eroded. Causes included better roads, widespread automobile ownership, the opening of the St Lawrence Seaway, the rise of air travel, hostile regulators. Ie, one damn thing after another. These proved lethal after a merger with Pennsylvania Rail - to become Penn Central - failed to stem the rot, and in 1970 the combined company became the largest bankruptcy in US history. (I think Enron, and possibly Lehman, have since surpassed it).
The structure is now known as the Helmsley Building.
Built for Italian immigrant Oreste Bachechi by the Boller Brothers firm at a cost of $150,000, the theater is a steel frame and brick building three-stories high, with retail shops flanking the entrance on both sides. Its exterior is finished with strongly textured light brown stucco embellished with ornamental details of glazed terra cotta tile and vividly-colored reliefs. 123
Built in the last years before World War II, the so called "Höhenstrasse" connects the hills in the north of the austrian Capital describing a half circle round the town. Route 38A is serving the eastern part of the road between Cobenzl Castle and Leopoldsberg and connecting it with the former village of Grinzing and S-Bahn station Heiligenstadt. The road is still showing it's interwar charme with cobblestones and old wires for the electricity, as a nice contrast to brand-new Citaro 8223. The bus just left Leopoldsberg terminus and is heading for Kahlenberg, Grinzing and Heiligenstadt after a short rain shower.
Built for the TBB Ninjago City collaboration at BrickCon 2018. The original set is one of my favorites of all time, and I had a lot of fun building a tribute. This tiny urban seaside park harbors a grand pagoda built over a sea cave. There is a flower market in the canal, and the levels above include a teahouse, maritime supply store, eel stand, cafe, and mini mart. All have full interiors.

Originally built for CCCXI, I ran out of time halfway through the build. I decided to forget the contest so that I could finish this right. 2 Months to build as I had time.
As far as what this is, its an old pirate outpost built on top of an old imperial outpost taken over by Quathos Steelmane and his band of mercenaries. These fellows are more than happy to supply the local pirates with steel as long as they have the coin.
Huge thanks to Trull whose work inspired this build. (fantastische-welten.blogspot.de/p/piraten.html)
