Boats - an open thread

Some Shots taken on a 2 hour Cruise on the River DEBDEN, Suffolk -- we went right down to the Felixtowe end then turned round -- it was VERY WIDE and not very 'photogenic' I used my CLA'd 1978 HASSELBLAD 500C/M with 2011 outdated Fuji Velvia 100F

This is from years ago... The Ghost Ships. There was an outcry at the time as decommissioned American naval ships were brought to the NE for dismantling. I was all for it as it secured jobs in the area and it was IMO better to dismantle them here with good H&S and environmental concerns rather than taking them to the far east where they'd be dismantled with very limited or indeed if any H&S or environmental concerns.

Not a great shot as this was the only place to stand and they were in the haze.
