Statement: A commentary on contemporary human trafficking that hearkens back to the slave trade but goes unfortunately even further back to the origin of mankind.
One from my archive, interesting as it is of camel traders at the old Camel market in Al Ain, no longer there, replaced by a more modern and less traditional affair.

I didn't get pictures of this, but the train at the front of the float was able to rise 35 feet into the air.
Après son remorquage, dimanche 7 décembre 2025 par le Sapeur, de la baie de Douarnenez, où il a laissé une de ses ancres, au mouillage sur un coffre en baie de Roscanvel, le vieux remorqueur World Trader a rejoint le quai ouest du cinquième bassin du port de Brest, lundi 8 décembre, vers 21 heures. Un transfert effectué dans le cadre de la procédure " port refuge ".
Ce mardi 9 décembre, les services de l'état, entre autres le centre de sécurité des navires (CSN), le commandant et son adjoint ont poursuivi les vérifications sur le navire, la sécurité de celui-ci et de son équipage étant préservés.
Les investigations ont fait apparaître un niveau très limité en eau douce et en vivres à bord. L'inspection réalisé par le CSN permettra de déterminer si d'autres déficiences sont relevées.
A bord, la situation semble se compliquer même si les services de l'état indiquent que " les conditions de vie essentielles sont respectées".
Sur leur navire amarré au quai du cinquième bassin du port de commerce, les marins du "World Trader" commencent à trouver le temps long. D'autant que l'ambiance entre le commandant espagnol, les cinq marins vénézuéliens et les deux marins ukrainiens n'est visiblement " pas au beau fixe". Ces derniers sont en effet accusés par leur collègues d'être responsable de la situation du vieux remorqueur, qui ne dispose ni d'argent, ni d'assureur.
After being towed on Sunday, December 7, 2025, by the tugboat Sapeur from Douarnenez Bay, where it had left one of its anchors, to a mooring buoy in Roscanvel Bay, the old tugboat World Trader reached the west quay of the fifth basin in the port of Brest on Monday, December 8, around 9:00 p.m. This transfer was carried out as part of the "port of refuge" procedure.
On Tuesday, December 9, government services, including the Ship Safety Center (CSN), the captain, and his deputy continued their checks on the vessel, ensuring the safety of the ship and its crew.
The investigations revealed very limited levels of fresh water and provisions on board. The inspection carried out by the CSN will determine if any other deficiencies are found.
On board, the situation appears to be deteriorating, even though government services indicate that "essential living conditions are being met." On their ship, moored at the quayside of the fifth basin in the commercial port, the sailors of the "World Trader" are starting to find the time dragging. Especially since the atmosphere between the Spanish captain, the five Venezuelan sailors, and the two Ukrainian sailors is clearly "not good." The latter are, in fact, being accused by their colleagues of being responsible for the situation of the old tugboat, which has neither money nor insurance.
. . Doc.
One of the best Flickr contacts you will ever have! A gentleman! After every comment, if he leaves one, he say's "thanks", because you allowed him to view your work.
How about that!? On Flickr?
I'm just off a plane. I had no intention of posting tonight - I will not view or comment, I'm going to bed - - BUT I opened Flickr, and there was his comment, on a crappy pic, and a comment as honest and as cheeky as ever, but it makes you feel glad you posted.
Another friend is having a low. I had drinks with him a while back. and went to the toilet in his local bar after a few beers. This photo was taken from it.
And I thought . . holy crap, he is not going round the best of establishments. He could not even afford to go round the normal of establishments.
I took the photo. The feet are mine, the yellow bucket seems to have been a metaphor for how I hoped his life would change; future sunshine. I helped how I could. We'll see what happens.
Back to Trader Doc. No easy lead-ins here - find him yourself, make the effort, and find a friend. He's from the school of hard knocks as most of us are, he respects no fools, but he respects everyone.
AND - he has nothing to do with this image - except, I know he is a friend when I might be down. We all need honest "trader's".

Well done to my Flickr friend 'tentontipper' and his father for their superb restoration of this 1964 Thames Trader tipper- converted to 6x4 by AWD of Camberley.
All Wheel Drive Ltd used only the Trader cab, engine, gearbox and front axle in this conversion- the chassis rails, transfer box and rear axles were all of their own design.
- Well, Admiral Motti... I must say I'm pleased, considering you opened your account today and managed to collect all white Imperial cards within one hour.
- Thank you, my Lord! I was trading away all rebel cards to achieve this as soon as possible!
- Good.
Even though most dwarfs have a common knowledge of all things shiny, the gem trader is the expert.

Not too sure about this one myself, but hey... I'm always looking to mix things up with different styles... :)
This gentleman has been a street trader with a clothes stall on Market Square, Castlebar now for many years
Besided owning hundreds of buses and numerous items of real estate, PMT, like most bus companies, maintained a small fleet of ancillary vehicles. These varied from small vans up to large recovery vehicles. Somewhere in the middle of those extremities fell things like this Ford Thames Trader which was used by the Engineering Department. Needless to say, all things were neatly recorded photographically.
The wreck of the MV Irish Trader (of Hartlepool) which grounded en route route from Sharpness in the UK to Drogheda with a cargo of fertiliser. The notorious Littlejohn brothers, Keith and Kenneth who claimed to be British agents, hid out on the wreck while on the run here in the 70s.

The Lisbon Trader, a general cargo ship from Monrovia Liberia, unloads a catamaran from it's deck, yacht in front was unloaded earlier. The ship is moored at Ogden Point docks in Victoria BC Canada. This is a common site here as boats usually made in Asia are delivered to local clients. I think part of the reason this is done is because the boats are probably cheaper to buy offshore. Follow the money...haha! People in the Zodiac inflatable boat at right boarded the catamaran to pilot to it's local destination.
