Bristol Steam Navigation Company ship - BSNC ran services across the Irish Sea and to Welsh ports and was the first company to work the Bristol to Cork passenger route. The firm underwent various changes of name including, War Office Steam Packet Co. from 1821 to 1827; General Steam Packet Co. from 1827 1834; Bristol Steam Packet Co. from 1834 to 1835; Bristol General Steam Navigation Co. from 1831 to 1871 and Bristol General Steam Navigation Co. Ltd from 1871 from 1877. It was sold to Cork interests in 1877 and dropped 'General' from its title becoming known as the Bristol Steam Navigation Company. The passenger service ended in 1914, because of competition from Fishguard. The company continued to run general cargo services (particularly Guinness shipments) across the Irish Sea until 1980.

The Florida Sea Grant Team in the Gainesville Office took a field trip to the sponge docks at Tarpon Springs. They took out a tour boat along the river to learn about the historical diving practices and toured the Acme Sponge factory, where Jim Cantonis, a member of Florida Sea Grant's advisory board, explained how the sponges are processed before they head to retail outlets.
Tobacco Dock is a Grade I listed warehouse in London. It was constructed in approximately 1811 in the Docklands area of east London and it served primarily as a store for imported tobacco.
It is a brick building with many brick vaults and some fine ironwork. It was adjacent to a particular set of docks named London Docks, which have now mostly been filled in. Tobacco Dock is owned by Messila House, a Kuwaiti investment company.
At its north entrance stands a 7 ft tall bronze sculpture of a boy standing in front of a tiger. In the late 1800s, wild animal trader Charles Jamrach owned the world's largest exotic pet store, located on Ratcliffe Highway, near to Tobacco Dock. The statue commemorates an incident where a Bengal tiger escaped from Jamrach's shop into the street and picked up and carried off a small boy, who had approached and tried to pet the animal having never seen such a big cat before. The boy escaped unhurt after Jamrach gave chase and prised open the animal's jaw with his bare hands.
Strange goings on - I watched this for some time - the dockers were trying to move a wagon - no locomotive in sight and I assume too far from a hydraulic winch to use a rope. They were trying to use an articulated lorry to move thre wagon - with expected results - they could keep not keep it straight. Some how sums up the declining years of Bristol Docks. This is one of a sequence of three - notice the bored observer on one of the photos
Former Greenland Dock, Surrey Docks, one of the few remaining sections of the Surrey Docks complex.
Greenland Dock is the oldest of London's wet docks, opened in 1699 as the Howland Great Wet Dock, used mainly for re-fitting ships in the East India trade.
Later used by ships on the Greenland whaling trade, which gave it its later name. In the 1800s, timber became the main import at the Surrey Docks.
Closed in 1970, it is now used for leisure purposes.
Late 14c / early 15c font - the bowl panels appear to show seated under canopies, liturgically vested figures of priests, deacons, bishops and doctors of the church. Underneath are praying angels, evangelist symbols and leaf decoration.
On the stem under carved canopies are mainly female saints - St Catherine with her wheel and sword, St Apollonia with her pincers, and, curiously, 3 seated figures holding babies. Possibly BVM & Christ Child, St Anne holding the infant Virgin & St Elizabeth with the infant John the Baptist. The corners have the remains of crouching lions (?) sadly their heads have been hacked off.
