The rusted arch framework of New York City Pier 54 is located adjacent to Chelsea Pier along 12th Avenue in Manhattan. The city has a plan to build a wonderful recreational island called Pier 55 but actually spanning this Pier 54 which is used for concerts and other events, the location of where Pier 55 was and also the location of Pier 56 (all that remains of 55 & 56 are the docking posts that can be seen from the shore). The city may probably get rid of this rusted arch, though perhaps someone will move it to museum or memorial site. I’ve seen that some designs where it remains while everything around is changed and that would good to render tribute to those who died in two of the worst maritime tragedies of our modern industrialized era. One can almost see the outline of the Cunard name and White Star name on the long horizontal beam.
Why and what are the tragedies? Well the significance of Pier 54, and probably why it hasn’t been completely torn down like the rest of White Star Line/Cunard piers is that on evening on that 18th day of April of 1912, after stopping at White Star Lines Pier 59 to unload the White Star Lines RMS Titanic’s life boats, the RMS Carpathia, a Cunard ship moored here at Pier 54 where the estimated 705 survivors of the Titanic disembarked and were met by a crowd estimated at 40,000. Pier 59 would have been where the Titanic would have moored if it hadn’t sunk as it was the premier pier for White Star Lines. There is more significance to the framework and Pier 54. Three years later, in May 1st of 1915, the RMS Lusitania which at the time was amongst the fastest, most luxurious and second largest liner in world would unknown to its passengers and crew depart for its final voyage from Pier 54. A German U-boat torpedoed the Lusitania on May 7th which quickly went down to Davy Jones locker sinking in 18 minutes, condemning its 1200 victims to watery grave among whose likes included Alfred Vanderbilt 3rd son of Cornelius Vanderbilt who gave his life jacket to a young mother and her small baby despite the fact that he could not swim.

España - Málaga - Casares - Baños de la Hedionda
***
ENGLISH:
Its uniqueness as Sulphur Baths and the length of its use by man since historical times have come to enrich its role not only as a historical and scientific reality, but as a cultural element of the first order, which must have influenced the cultural heritage of the town since ancient times, and which also enjoys an ideal geographical location within the framework of a territory particularly rich in human activities since ancient times.
From the oldest geographical treaties that speak of the municipality of Casares, reference is made to the curative properties of the Hedionda spring and its location.
The historical importance is given by the spa area, initially Roman in its capture and adaptation to the use of the spring. Later remodeling, the result of the variation in the flow levels of the spring, caused the Arabs to retouch its structure and expand its walls and channels, brought to light in the last archaeological intervention at the beginning of 1990. In addition, from 2016, these baths have natural pools.
The complex of baths is completed with works from the 17th to the end of the 20th century, which are still partially preserved. Although the size of the remains found may seem to us to be little in keeping with the Roman magnificence of this type of construction, the studies carried out seem to confirm this Roman origin, although some alterations must have occurred to the primitive structure.
To avoid overcrowding, the Casares Town Council has implemented a series of measures, including limiting the capacity of the premises to 24 people, so it is necessary to make a reservation to access it during peak hours, established from 12:00 to 19:00 hours from July 2 to September 9. These reservations are free and for a period of one hour.

ESPAÑOL:
Su peculiaridad como Baños Sulfurosos y lo dilatado de su aprovechamiento por el hombre desde tiempos históricos han venido a enriquecer su papel no sólo como realidad histórica y científica, sino como elemento cultural de primer orden, que ha debido influir en el acerbo cultural del pueblo desde muy antiguo, y que goza además de una situación geográfica idónea en el marco de un territorio particularmente rico en actividades humanas desde la antigüedad.
Desde los más antiguos tratados geográficos en los que se habla del municipio de Casares se hace referencia a las propiedades curativas de la fuente de la Hedionda y su localización.
La importancia histórica viene dada por el recinto balneario, inicialmente romano en su captación y adaptación al uso de la fuente. Remodelaciones posteriores, fruto de la variación en los niveles de caudal del venero hace que los árabes retoquen su estructura y amplíen sus muros y canalizaciones, sacadas a la luz en la última intervención arqueológica en los inicios de 1990. Además, a partir del año 2016, estos baños cuentan con piscinas naturales.
El conjunto de los baños se completa con obras desde el XVII hasta fines del XX, aún conservadas en parte. Aunque la entidad de los restos encontrados, pudieran parecernos poco acordes con la magnificencia romana en este tipo de construcciones, los estudios realizados parecen confirmar este origen romano, si bien se deben haber producido algunas alteraciones de la primitiva estructura.
Para evitar la masificación, el Ayuntamiento de Casares ha puesto en marcha una serie de medidas entre las que destaca la limitación del aforo en el recinto a 24 personas, por lo que es necesario realizar una reserva para acceder al mismo en horas puntas, establecidas de 12.00 a 19.00 horas desde el 2 de julio al 9 de septiembre. Estas reservas son gratuitas y por un periodo de una hora.

A short drive from my office in Irvine, CA I found this interesting bit of architectural detail.
Thanks for stopping by and for your comments. You can also find me at:
Soon there will be nothing left other than frames and concrete foundation of this old abandoned greenhouse. The nature reclaims.
Looking through the forest of framework as I ride to the top of Branson's Ferris wheel.
What was once Chicago’s iconic Navy Pier Ferris Wheel for 20 years, it now sits at Track 4 in Branson. Standing 150 ft. tall, its 40 gondolas hold 240 riders, and it lights up the night with a music and light spectacular titled "Electrify" and that uses the wheel’s 16,000 LED lights
Turtlepoint, PA... WNYP operates their seasonal stone traffic between Driftwood & Turtlepoint, PA, however the crew starts lite power from Olean. A trip out to the main line and be stuck with the lite power move is unmotivating to me. Upon arrival in Turtlepoint on June 25, 2019, I decided an iced tea was more important until I glanced to my left...
Whether here or anywhere else I'm sure several that take photography seriously have thought of this framework before here or somewhere else, but on this day I got a shot and the iced tea...
