I took this photo during the day and decided to go back at night. Here are the thousand footers Edgar B. Speer and the Stewart J. Cort, of which the Cort was the first built and the only one with the wheelhouse at the bow in traditional laker style.

This is Oakland Quarry pit, the northern most of the main run of quarries. This is at the bottom of the hill sloping down from Monson. As you can see the far side of the pit is at ground level and there is almost no right to left slope here. The photo is taken standing on the crane platform which is built up to the level of the slate wastes behind.

The Oh-71 local cruises up main 1 after reversing through the crossovers at West Darling following a 10K footer sliding through town. The Swooshed GP39-3 was almost as bright as the warbonnet. I'm pretty sure the crew won't be using the AC today as it's about 20F outside right now.

The Footer's Dye Works is a historic industrial building in Cumberland, Maryland. The four story brick building occupies most of a city block on Howard Street near its junction with South Mechanic Street. Built in 1906, it is the last surviving building of a large cleaning and dyeing business that was once one of Cumberland's major employers. Throughout the 1920s Footer's Dye Works was one of the dominant cleaning and dyeing establishments in the mid-Atlantic region, with major branch offices located in Baltimore, Philadelphia, and Pittsburgh. At its peak, Footer's Dye Works employed as many as 500 people and numbered the White House among its clients. The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2013. The building housed the company’s office, and the functions of cloth finishing and pressing. It played a central role in the company’s function: where the company’s administration was carried out, and where crucial final steps in preparing the product took place. Although the setting has diminished through the removal of the other buildings that were once part of this complex, and the construction of the elevated I-68 platform adjacent to the building, the Footer’s building itself remains nearly as it was constructed and used in the early 20th century. The character defining features of the building are almost completely intact. At the exterior, windows, doors, distinctive corbelled brickwork, tile roofing, and painted signage all remain. The interior retains original tongue-and-groove flooring, wall partitioning and ceiling material, exposed structural steel columns and beams, and early, if not original, paint schemes. Windows and skylights, especially on the upper stories, remain in place. Thus, the Footer’s Dye Works building retains more than sufficient material to convey its historic character and important associations with Cumberland’s industrial past. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Footer's_Dye_Works www.nps.gov/nr/feature/places/13000460.htm mht.maryland.gov/nr/NRDetail.aspx?HDID=1621&COUNTY=Al...
The 1000 footer " Stewart J Cort " anchored five miles out from the North Gap in Current River seeking Safe Harbour from high winds on Superior since last night and it looks like she will have another sleep over tonight until the Big Lake Flattens out.
The Gales of November have started early. There are winds up to 35 - 40 knots on more than half of Superior today & tonight. The winds are coming out of the north so any ships that are out there are hugging the north shore. The ones coming out of Duluth led by the "Saginaw"are heading directly into the wind and only doing less than half their normal speed.

M/V Stewart J. Cort was the first 1000-foot vessel on the Great Lakes when she entered service for Bethlehem Steel Corporation in 1972. Her bow and stern sections, built by Ingalls Shipbuilding, Pascagoula, Mississippi, were joined together and called “Stubby” for the trip to the Great Lakes. At Erie Marine, Erie, Pennsylvania, “Stubby” was cut apart and joined with the midbody built there. The Cort is the only 1000-footer with pilot house forward. All crew accommodations are also forward. Her self-unloading system’s shuttle boom is contained within the after cabin structure. Interlake Leasing III secured the bareboat charter of the Cort in 2005. See less

Some time between the time the last photo was taken and the following wednesday, they dug some ditches and poured the footers. it was at this point I realized how big the house is going to really be, and how much of a slope there is on the lot.
This photo is part of the Australian National Maritime Museum’s William J Hall collection. The Hall collection provides an important pictorial record of recreational boating in Sydney Harbour, from the 1890s to the 1930s – from large racing and cruising yachts, to the many and varied skiffs jostling on the harbour, to the new phenomenon of motor boating in the early twentieth century. The collection also includes studio portraits and images of the many spectators and crowds who followed the sailing races.
