USS Cod (SS/AGSS/IXSS-224) is a Gato-class submarine, the only vessel of the United States Navy to be named for the cod, an important and very popular food fish of the North Atlantic and North Pacific.
Cod is now a National Historic Landmark, preserved as a memorial and museum ship permanently moored in Cleveland, Ohio, and is open to visitors daily from May to November.
Cod′s keel was laid down by the Electric Boat Company at Groton, Connecticut, on 21 July 1942. The submarine's five V16 diesel engines were built by General Motors Cleveland Diesel Plant on the west side of Cleveland, Ohio. She was launched on 21 March 1943, sponsored by Mrs. G. M. Mahoney, and commissioned on 21 June 1943 with Commander James C. Dempsey, USN; in command. Dempsey had already won fame by sinking the first Japanese destroyer lost in World War II while in command of the submarine USS S-37 (SS-142).
Cod is credited with sinking more than 12 enemy vessels totaling more than 37,000 tons, and damaging another 36,000 tons of enemy shipping. All seven of her war patrols were considered successful and Cod was awarded seven battle stars for her service in World War II, Cod's battleflag and conning tower both carry a cocktail glass above the name O-19 to commemorate the rescue and the party.
Today, Cod is one of the finest restored submarines on display and is the only U.S. submarine that has not had stairways and doors cut into her pressure hull for public access. Cod is the only World War II Fleet submarine that is still intact and in her wartime configuration. Visitors to the ship use the same vertical ladders and hatches that were used by her crew. She also has unique attractions such as the 5-inch deck gun that still can be rotated by visitors and mock-fired by Cod's volunteer crew. The Cod's Mark IV Torpedo Data Computer is also fully restored, as well as other various parts on the submarine.
Cleveland can claim partial credit as Cod's birthplace, since the submarine's five diesel engines were built at the General Motors Cleveland Diesel Plant on Cleveland's west side. Cod acquired two General Motors Model 248 V16 engines that had originally been used aboard another World War II submarine, USS Stingray (SS-186). The engines are held in reserve for parts for the restoration of Cod's engines. All of the engines on the Cod are in working order, and can be fired up on special events.
The Cod operates an amateur radio station, W8COD,[14] and participates in various amateur radio contests and other events such as Field Day.
On 13 June 2021, USS Cod departed Cleveland under tow to Donjon Shipbuilding & Repair in Erie, Pennsylvania for dry docking to repair and renew her underwater hull. The last time the Cod was in dry dock for repairs was in 1963 in Lorain, Ohio. Cod was closed to tours for approximately 64 days for a dry dock maintenance program. The goal of the $1.1 million project, partially funded by a $395,050 grant from the Save America's Treasures grant program administered by the Department of the Interior, is to conserve and restore the underwater hull of this 1943-vintage submarine so that she will continue to be a well-preserved National Historic Landmark and memorial for all veterans of America's armed forces. Cod returned to Cleveland on 18 August 2021 to the 1201 North Marginal Road berth that she has occupied since her arrival in Cleveland in 1959.

This film taken in 1939-showing the Cape Cod canal and Railroad Bridge. A young couple enjoys the nearby beach in Bourne. Some wreckage still in place from the '38 hurricane.
The Cape Cod Canal is a man-made waterway traversing the narrow neck of land that joins Cape Cod to mainland Massachusetts.
Part of the Atlantic Intracoastal Waterway, the canal is roughly 17.4 miles long (approximately 7 of which are cut through land)[1] and connects Cape Cod Bay in the north to Buzzards Bay in the south. The 540-foot width of the canal is spanned by the Cape Cod Canal Railroad Bridge and two highway bridges -- the Bourne and the Sagamore. Traffic lights govern the approach of vessels over 65 feet, and are located at either end of the canal. From the MLBaron Historical Archives. www.westislandweather.com

A once upon a time company now in administration that did bling-bling conversions on the already luxurious Range Rover. A sort of Brit AMG. Seeing one these days they look a bit Life on Mars archaic. Or is that just me and now they are retro-coo. If so l would point out that La Dame Coleen Rooney's has/had one.
Private plate on this one; the alloys suit it.

Cape Cod, Massachusetts has many "Clean Colors" available for your camera to take advantage of. It was a cool day and windy as well. I did have a small amount of time on my hands to play with my camera.
The heads of cod hung out to dry for Stokkefish soup etc. Seen everywhere in the Lofoten Islands, Norway. OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERA

The UK frigate HMS Mermaid collides with the Icelandic Coast Guard Vessel Thor in March 1976, in one of the incidents in the Cod Wars between the two countries.
When Iceland expanded its territorial miles to 12, 50 then 200 miles at sea, British fishermen were threatened with displacement from what had been traditional fishing areas.
There ensued a series of fairly minor confrontations at sea between the two nations.
The UK eventually relented.

Por el Callejón del Codo salimos a la Plaza del Conde de Miranda donde se encuentra el Convento de las Carboneras
CARBONERAS DEL CORPUS CHRISTI
ARQUITECTO: Miguel de Soria, 1615-1625
Situacion: Plazuela del Conde de Miranda
A escasos metros de la calle Mayor existe un convento de clausura en cuyo interior se desarrolla la vida del siglo XVII. Tras sus altos muros, casi ciegos, la comunidad de Carboneras del Corpus Christi mantiene el espÃritu de meditación y recogimiento con que comenzó su existencia. Desde las estrechas calles medievales que rodean el convento nada se puede adivinar de la riqueza artÃstica de su interior, ni de su bellÃsimo patio en la clausura. Anclada en un pasado de más de tres siglos, su arquitectura se mantiene como único testimonio entre tantas, desapariciones.
El paseante puede acceder a la iglesia del convento por cuatro caminos, todos ellos repletos de sugerencias históricas. Si llega desde la Plaza de la Villa tendrá que rozar los muros de la Torre de los Lujanes, pues el callejón del Codo es el más estrecho de Madrid. Si desciende desde la Plaza de San Miguel se verá sorprendido por 1a belleza asimétrica de la Plazuela del Conde de Miranda. Si ha llegado a la plazuela subiendo por la calle de la Pasa, habrá caminado junto al Archivo Episcopal que posiblemente le recuerde, si es madrileño, los papeleos de su boda. Y, por último, puede llegar el visitante a través de la calle de Puñonrostro con las enormes contrafuertes de los Santos Justo y Pastor.
El nombre de Carboneras les viene a las monjas de una hermosa leyenda que contaba cómo un tal Fray José de Canalejas entregó al convento una imagen de la Inmaculada hallada en una carbonerÃa.
La fundación de jerónimas descalzas inauguraba esta rama de la Orden Religiosa más estrictamente española, creada como aposentadores reales y de la cual henos tratado con extensión considerable al estudiar San Jerónimo el Real en el Paseo del Prado. La fundadora, doña Beatriz RamÃrez de Mendoza, creó el convento con la mirada puesta en su hija Juana, que fue la primera superiora.
La autorÃa del templo fue atribuida por ElÃas Tormo a Fray Lorenzo de San Nicolás pero las investigaciones de Virginia Tovar han conducido a esclarecer el tema y Miguel de Soria aparece como su realizador indiscutible.
En la portada destaca el relieve de San Jerónimo y Santa Paula adorando a la EucaristÃa, obra de algún discÃpulo de los Leoni.
En el interior se conserva perfectamente el retablo del altar mayor de Antón de Morales, granadino, hijo de un artillero de la Alhambra y que desarrolló en Madrid sus habilidades como escultor, entallador y arquitecto después de haber trabajado algunos años en Sevilla.
La planta corresponde a la tipologÃa de conventos del primer cuarto del siglo XVII, con sencilla nave de salón para el templo y un pequeño claustro de bellas proporciones. El resto, adaptaciones de las casas ya existentes para albergar a las monjas de la comunidad.
El severo orden toscano del interior del templo carece de adornos. Un arco, más bajo que la bóveda de cañón, separa a modo de diafragma la nave del presbiterio. Los luneros abiertos en la bóveda iluminan el interior del templo. En las paredes de la iglesia existen dos alturas, la interior para las capillas con arcos de medio punto y la superior con las tribunas por las que la comunidad puede asistir a los oficios religiosos.
La última restauración ha corrido a cargo del arquitecto Antonio González Capitel que ha realizado un estudio detalladÃsimo del convento. El patio, de 4 x 4 intervarlos, es difÃcilmente visitable por estar incluido en la clausura pero a través de los planos de la restauración puede hacerse idea el lector de la belleza de sus proporciones. El templo ha recuperado la claridad primitiva y la pureza de sus lÃneas pre-barrocas. El exterior ha sido revocado a la catalana imitando un aparejo de ladrillo cuyos tendeles se han pintado de blanco. La geometrÃa perfecta de este aparejo simulado ha causado cierto asombro entre los que piensan que cualquier restauración debe mostrar los auténticos materiales estructurales. El revoco fue usado con profusión en los siglos XVIII y XIX, siendo a partir de la restauración de la Casa de Cisneros por Luis Bellido que se implantó la tendencia de los muros de pedernal con verdugadas de ladrillo, a modo de las antiguas murallas o de las edificaciones del Madrid de los Austrias. Con frecuencia las restauraciones que han implantado este tipo de muro han tenido que inventárselo ya que no existÃa anteriormente. El juego ancestral entre simulación y realidad mostraba de nuevo su ambivalente máscara.
