Despite the fact the age of steam is long past, it is still common to speak of ships "steaming past". In the same way we refer to an earlier era when we say we are going "sailing" on a ship.
The motion blur on this photograph actually allows us to make a calculation of the speed of the "Spirit of Tasmania I" as it moves past us in the Mersey River. To clarify what I said yesterday, it is important to get everything else in sharp relief so that the only blur we see is the movement of the ship. So I've done some calculations.
The "Spirit of Tasmania I" is 194.33m long (637ft 7in). It is possible to see a single light that appears as a bar representing the distance travelled in the time of exposure. That's the simple formula. The one obvious example is the green light on the top starboard deck. [In the next photograph you will see that this is indeed a single point of green light.] My rough estimate is that this bar represents about 6m. Now given the exposure time here is 0.6 of a second, that equates to 10m per second or 36km/h (19.4 knots). From the river bank it looks even faster, but that speed sounds about right, as the ship slows to make its way into the narrow channel.

Molli revisited ...
The Molli (German: Mecklenburgische Bäderbahn "Molli"; short: MBB; also: Molli Bahn or Mollibahn) is a narrow-gauge steam-powered railway in Mecklenburg, running on 900 mm (2 ft 11 7⁄16 in) gauge track. It operates between Bad Doberan, Heiligendamm and Kühlungsborn West over a total distance of 15.4 km with a running time of 40 minutes. Within Bad Doberan the line runs through the street, and later along a linden tree-lined avenue. Between Heiligendamm and Kühlungsborn the tracks run parallel to the Baltic Sea beach across fields.

2023 NNR Spring Steam Gala
I don't often take photos of my morning coffee, but it looked great as it steamed in the early morning sunlight on the balcony of our hotel room in Murray Bridge. I knew my 800mm lens was pretty sharp on occasion, but I wasn't quite expecting to see the individual droplets of steam! The coffee was good too.
Best viewed large for the steamy detail!
