Very graceful, almost like a toy boat.

Tabnabs - the pictures are great and all, but a little context to each would be a big improvement

There is no context, most of the images I post are from social media and originate from personal archives, with no back story. They are just interesting (to me) photos of ships and shipping.

Bangladeshi ferry; where life is cheap, standards are non-existent, but someone is still making a decent return on their investment. Hats off to the people in the lifeboat, that's where I'd be too!

I'd get straight on to HR about that. Everything is tilted to the left, you can clearly see the horizon on PC cam.

I've been on most of Royal Caribbean's ships and this one is simply stunning. Standing beside it at the docks is amazing just to look at it!

A3J-1 from VAH-7 "Peacemakers of the Fleet" and a Vought F8U-1 Crusader, VF-62 "Boomerangs", launch from the USS Enterprise (CVAN-65) in early 1962. “Big E", with Carrier Air Group 1 (CVG-1) embarked, was on shakedown cruise.

Never look back, unless there's a view like this!

The Russian 'Thyphoon'-class nuclear submarine Dmitrij Donskoj plowing through Danish waters in July on its way through the Baltic Sea to St. Petersburg.

A small deviation from your regular service. Life on a ship and what happens when you have to visit a Persian Gulf port. #shipporn

How one frigate ended her days.





























and "for context" how it happened.



On 24 January, 1994, HNoMS Oslo "ran aground at Marsteinen. One officer was killed in the accident. The next day, on January 25, she was taken under tow. She sank on the same day in Korsfjorden outside Steinneset in Austevoll county..."

You witness lots of strange and unusual sights at sea.
