The Torre della Lanterna of Genoa, sometimes referred to simply as "la Lanterna", is the main lighthouse for the city's port. Besides being an important aid to night navigation in the vicinity, the tower serves as a symbol for the City of Genoa, and is one of the oldest standing structures of its kind in the world (1128). It is built on the hill of San Benigno at some little distance from the Sampierdarena neighborhood. The lighthouse is 249 feet (76 m) tall, and is constructed in two square portions, each one capped by a terrace; the whole structure is crowned by a lantern from which the light is shone.
Haverstraw Bay County Park was the location where the Cassions for the Tappan Zee Bridge where assembled before being floated down river to the bridge.

This is the other that was became a stabilized ruin.
Handling Specialty has experience with loading dock equipment. Here is a 20,000 lb. capacity custom hydraulic scissor lift table for transferring Rolls of Paper.
Handling Specialty's design of custom high-capacity lifts is suited ideally to the newspaper industry where tons of rolls of paper are handled daily. For the Houston Chronicle, a 20,000 lb. capacity lift was designed for the unloading of 5,000 lb. paper rolls. Delivered by transport to loading docks, the transport stops in front of the lift which raises to the height of the dock and back of the transport. Once emptied, the lift lowers and the present transport leaves, making way for the next shipment.

Tate Britain Commission 2014
Inspired by Tate Britain's location in relation to the river Thames, dock is Barlow's most ambitious sculptural installation to date. Obtrusive and invasive, the works in dock block and impede the way, overfilling the 100 metre long barrel-vaulted Duveen Galleries. They project dual and contradictory identities: monumental on the one hand, collapsed on the other. Made of lightweigh materials such as timber, metal, polystyrene, tarpaulin, canvas, cardboard and rope, the works in dock look battered or ravaged and offer an antagonistic counterpart to the austere neoclassical galleries. Suspended , collapsed, stacked, wrapped, folded or jammed, the sculptures have taken over and create a dynamic space that challenges the experience of viewing.
Sculptor Phyllida Barlow
Sculptor Phyllida Barlow will unveil her largest and most ambitious work in London to date for the Tate Britain Commission 2014, supported by Sotheby’s, on 31 March 2014. The annual commission invites artists to make work in response to Tate’s collection of British and international art and to the grand spaces of the Duveen Galleries at the heart of Tate Britain.
For over four decades Phyllida Barlow has made imposing, large scale sculptural installations using inexpensive, everyday materials such as cardboard, fabric, timber, polystyrene, plaster, scrim and cement. Her distinctive work is focused on her experimentation with these materials, to create bold and colourful three-dimensional collages.
Drawing on memories of familiar objects from her surroundings, Barlow’s tactile and seemingly unstable sculptures often contrast with the permanence and traditions of monumental sculpture. In works such as Peninsula at the Baltic Centre for Contemporary Art in 2004 or Stint at Mead Gallery, Warwick Arts Centre in 2008, a cacophony of form, colour and materials filled the spaces. In Barlow’s most recent work TIP for the Carnegie International in Pittsburgh, timber lengths wrapped in mesh, cement and brightly coloured fabric ribbons cascaded en masse across the museum plaza to the entrance.
Phyllida Barlow has had an important influence on younger generations of artists through her work and long teaching career in London art schools. At the Slade School of Fine Art, her students included Turner Prize-winning and nominated artists Rachel Whiteread and Angela de la Cruz.
Having seen the space evolve over several decades, I’m very excited by the opportunity to work in the Duveen Galleries. Considering a body of new work, I was very conscious of two particular contradictory aspects: the tomb-like interior galleries against the ever-present aspect of the river beyond.

Eugene, Oregon
Driving through an alley to get back to a mural I wanted to photograph I happened across this totally random diptych of Dock Ellis, a pitcher for the Pittsburgh Pirates in the late '60s to the mid '70s. I lived near Los Angeles in the '70s and I remember Dock pitching against the Dodgers. Why he was painted on a wall in Eugene I have no idea.

Preston marina and Docks.
Preston Dock is a former maritime dock on the northern bank of the River Ribble, 2.5 km (1.6 mi) west of Preston, Lancashire, England. The Albert Edward Basin opened in 1892 and is connected to the river by a series of locks.
The dock is 25.6 km (15.9 mi) from the Irish Sea and provided a port for shipping until its closure in 1981. Most of the historic buildings and facilities have since been demolished and the area is now mainly commercial and residential property, along with some light industry. Following the dock's closure, a public marina opened in 1987.
Chadwick Dock. Gotta love the ropes. The cool breeze, mistic nights and fun in the sun during the day. What a place.....

The development of Falmouth Docks began in 1858 and the foundation stone was laid by Viscount Falmouth in 1860 although the location of this stone is not known. The first ship to enter the docks arrived in 1861.
The Docks are currently managed and operated by A&P. At present Falmouth has three graving docks that provide up to 100,000 dwt dry dock capacity. There is a total wharfage with craneage and all other technical services, of 2.5km.
The docks are about to embark on an exciting phase of redevelopment that it is envisaged will include a world class 300 berth marina called Port Falmouth Marina. This will herald a new phase in the history of Falmouth Docks that will see new investment bringing benefits, not just for Falmouth, but the whole of Cornwall.
The regeneration plans include the provision of a new cruise liner terminal capable of accommodating the latest super cruisers. These plans are currently under assessment.
Our Falmouth port boasts one of the world’s largest natural deep-water harbours. Falmouth is the largest ship-repair complex in the UK with 3 large graving docks and extensive alongside deepwater berthing providing capacity for vessels up to 100,000 tonnes.
Offering onsite engineering, electrical, paint and fabrication workshops and links to all other specialist contractors and OEMs, these are integrated to provide a complete range of marine repair services to the customer.
As well as extensive workshop facilities across all disciplines Falmouth offers bunkering facilities, the ability to dock without gas-freeing, in-water surveys and propeller polishing.
Falmouth is a busy working port handling over 100,000T of product annually and with over 30 firms located in the docks providing a full range of services including towage, ship’s agency, area port health, diving services, local surveyors and tank washing.

Canning Half Tide Dock
Canning Half Tide Dock on the River Mersey, Liverpool, England is a half tide dock and is part of the Port of Liverpool. It is situated in the southern dock system, connected to Canning Dock to the east and Albert Dock to the south. The dock was designed by Jesse Hartley and opened in 1753.[contradiction]
Originally consisting of two lock entrances to the Mersey, the north gates were sealed with a concrete dam in 1937. The south gates are modified to accommodate a valve to admit river water.
The Pilotage Building, which managed the river's pilot boats, opened in 1883. Both this building and the dock itself are now part of Merseyside Maritime Museum.
