This is several handheld shots stitched together at a quiet location in Florida. This dock, which is a floating dock, normally isn't so far from shore...but thanks to heavy rains, much of the park (and the land going to the dock) is flooded. Used a Sony A35 with a Tamron 17-50 lens.
At 1338hrs on Thursday 30 January 2025, DB Cargo loco no. 66656 departs Portbury Dock in Bristol at the head of 6Z53, the late running Portbury Automotive Terminal (1243hrs) to Margam loaded steel working. The backdrop is the M5 Avonmouth Bridge. A rare sunny day day hereabouts this month.

I am never usually up at sunrise but on this ocassion, our boat had not long docked and I had to be up for an excursion...One of many! I wish I could tell you in which port I took this, but I just cannot remember...how bad! The boat in frame is one of the Costa cruise ships, I have traveled on this line before when visiting the United Arab Emirates, They are much smaller in comparison to the ship I was on (MSC Fantasia). This image is again from a cruise I took back at the beginning of 2010, the trip I have just returned from was a cruise on the Norweigan Cruise Line's ship 'Epic'. Both ships were totally amazing inside, photos from both to come.
Using the power for the next evening's road train, an Alabama & Gulf Coast yard crew is making a Saturday interchange run to the neighboring Terminal Railway Alabama State Docks yard. These former BNSF Dash 9s look pretty sharp in the G&W scheme, even if they elicit groans from much of the railfan masses. They're also back on home rails down here on the Gulf Coast of Alabama, with the AGR leasing this former Frisco route from BNSF in the late 1990s.

Dry Dock 1
This stone and metal structure is Dry Dock 1, completed in 1833. As one of America’s first two granite dry docks. Dry Dock 1 made the repair of the large naval ships faster, easier and safer.
Returning warships to sea duty in less time was a crucial gain for a young nation with a limited budget and a small navy. Costing more than 1.5 million, the dry docks here in Charlestown and in Norfolk, Virginia were the largest civil works projects the federal government had ever undertaken. They proved that the nation was prepared to use its navy to protect its overseas trade.
The first vessel to enter Dry Dock 1 for repairs was USS Constitution in 1833. Today, Dry Dock 1, a working pioneer, is preserved as a National Historic Civil Engineering Landmark.

Dock Side
The resident dock mink looks like he's about to race off up the ramp, but he was simply exploring his territory. The white spots on his face are paint chips from under the rail I haven't seen him much lately, but it looks like he's wintered well, seems fat and healthy. Have a fine weekend, everybody.
Coal Sector Class 56, No 56027 awaits to move slowly forward as each HAA wagon is loaded by JCB with coal. The train is ultimately for Fiddlers Ferry Power Station but initally it's tripped to Edge Hill Wapping first before onward movement. Location is Gladstone Dock before the Liverpool Bulk Terminal (let alone the new Biomass Terminal) was built. 9th October 1991. (D.2111A)

View of Hudson Dock North, Sunderland, c1898 (TWAM ref. 238/36). This image is taken from an 'Illustrated Guide to Sunderland and Environs' issued in 1898 by Sunderland Corporation and the River Wear Commissioners.
This set of images celebrates the 300th Anniversary of the establishment of the Port of Sunderland. The port authority was constituted in 1717 by Act of Parliament, which appointed the River Wear Commissioners to manage and improve the harbour and river. Since then the port has changed beyond recognition with the construction of piers, docks and quays and the dredging of the River Wear to make it wider and deeper.
These developments were vital to the coal trade on which the region’s prosperity depended. The improvement of the river was also essential to the success of shipbuilding in Sunderland as well as allied industries such as marine engineering and ship repairing. These images are a reflection of Sunderland’s proud industrial history.

This image also required major Photoshop surgery due to it being very underexposed.
But alas a scene never to be recaptured.
St Kathrine Dock London.
St Katharine Docks took their name from the former hospital of St Katharine's by the Tower, built in the 12th century, which stood on the site. An intensely built-up 23 acre site was earmarked for redevelopment by an Act of Parliament in 1825, with construction commencing in May 1827. Some 1250 houses were demolished, together with the medieval hospital of St. Katharine. Around 11,300 inhabitants, mostly port workers crammed into unsanitary slums, lost their homes; only the property owners received compensation. The scheme was designed by engineer Thomas Telford and was his only major project in London. To create as much quayside as possible, the docks were designed in the form of two linked basins (East and West), both accessed via an entrance lock from the Thames. Steam engines designed by James Watt and Matthew Boulton kept the water level in the basins about four feet above that of the tidal river. By 1830, the docks had cost over £2 million to build
