George Stephenson is a tribute to the shipbuilding industry of the '50s. The steamer is a combination of a new airframe, components and elements of steamships of the past. The ship is also used since the launch of the recruitment of funds for medical research. George Stephenson can be chartered among others for trips and cruises.

"With planes and steamships
and with the old friends
we walk around in the dark
and yet you don't listen to us.
You can't hear us singing
with electric voices,
into the underground galleries,
until our trajectories meet
your basic principles.
My Father, Batis, (Unreachable Mother Form of Earth and Sky)
came from Smyrna in '22 (I will disappear from your eyes both)
and lived fifty years (into the world)
in a bottom secret (like a refugee in a bottom secret).
In this place those who love (if they love)
they eat dirty bread (they eat dirty bread,
the faithful of your word
and their desires follow them (and their desires follow an underground path)
underground route.
Last night I saw a friend
like an elf walking around
on the motorcycle
and dogs ran behind him.
Stand up, my soul, give me power,
set your clothes on fire (like Marco),
set the instruments on fire (set the instruments on fire),
to shake like a black spirit
(to close the door but shake like a black spirit)
our terrible voice (our terrible voice)."
I know its a "difficult" sound, but its a great, powerful greek song which I love...
SS Okanagan was a steamship owned and operated by the Canadian Pacific Railway Lake and River Service. The vessel was constructed in 1906 at Okanagan Landing and launched in 1907, becoming Okanagan Lake's second steamship (after the SS Aberdeen). She linked the transportation hubs at both the north and south ends of Okanagan Lake (Vernon and Penticton, respectively, aiding the development of interior British Columbia with other steamships of the 1900s. The ship was retired in 1934 and sold for scrap and spare parts. Only the Stern Saloon, a room in the back of the upper deck, remains. It was moved to the SS Sicamous Heritage Park in Penticton in 2002, to undergo restoration work.

'Why be a copy, when you were born an original'
Out for a drive on a sunny day, we thought we'd seen a mirage out on the waters of Lake Huron. I've never seen a Laker so close to shore and this one seemed to be dancing in and out of the shimmering light and an offshore snow squall. It also seemed to be anchored, which is strange because there is no safe harbor. The red hull suggests a ship from the Canada Steamship Line and the only thing we could think of was that she was waiting for an ice breaker to clear the way ahead - unless it really was a mirage.

The sole remaining commercial passenger-carrying coal-fired steamship in the southern hemisphere crossing Lake Wakatipu. An Edwardian steamship built in 1912, the TSS Earnslaw is a 1912 vintage twin screw steamer. A beautiful display of engineering from the age of steam, or a polluting relic? Love to hear peoples thoughts on this? Queenstown, South Island, New Zealand.

Whytecliff Park is located in a beautiful corner of Howe Sound with a rugged coastline and spectacular views of colourful mountains and passing boats.
Precarious stepping stones lead the brave out to explore the little stone island. It's so important to keep an eye on the tide, as many people have been stranded out on the Islet. When the tide rolls back in, the water level rises and the stone path leading out becomes submerged under the ocean.
As per, the indicating water line that surrounds the base.
A variety of trees and other plants grow out of the rocky surface.

Whytecliff Park is located near West Vancouver's Horseshoe Bay Neighbourhood, the original name of which was White Cliff City, which opened in 1909. In 1914, Colonel Albert Whyte pressed for the spelling change from White Cliff City to Whytecliff. The Whytecliff area is now distinct from Horseshoe Bay. The park, originally Rockcliffe Park, was developed by W.W. Boultbee in 1926, and a private access road was cut from the Marine Drive highway at Batchelor Bay.
The fifty acre Boultbee estate was purchased by the Union Steamship Company in 1939 and the company operated a Bowen Island Ferry from Whytecliff during 1939-41 and 1946-1952
The park is currently home to more than 200 marine animal species and is the first Marine Protected Area in Canada. Sea lions can be seen sunbathing on the beach during summer.

The steamship Waitangi, purchased just a year earlier, sank crossing the bar at Patea in 1923 and now lies on Mana Beach.
It was swallowed by sand and sea for 15 years before it was seen again.
Usually, it's almost fully covered with sand but this trip it was fully exposed.
Contrast this 100 year old wreck with the Waipipi Wind Farm's 31 modern wind turbines in the background.

Morant’s Curve is named for Nicholas Morant, a staff photographer for the Canadian Pacific Railway. For 44 years, he crisscrossed the country on passenger trains. He photographed hotels, steamships, trucks, airplanes, oil wells, and mines, for the CPR. He chronicled the times, writing for the company magazine as well as photographing developments on the railway. Wouldn't that be a great job! His photos have been used on the backs of $10, $50 and $100 Canadian bills.

The steamship Sir Walter Scott was built in 1899 at William Denny & Bros. in Dumbarton. After completing its trials on the River Clyde, the vessel was dismantled and transported to Loch Katrine in the Trossachs. The journey involved barges navigating the River Leven and Loch Lomond, then using horse-drawn wagons to haul the ship’s sections overland to Stronachlachar at Loch Katrine’s western end, where it was reassembled and launched in 1900. In 2025 It celebrated 125years of sailing on Loch Katrine and of giving pleasure to around 30.000 visitors each year who travel the loch on board this charming vessel, The SS Sir Walter Scott.
