Ships in my area



A US Navy ship now seeing duty as a training ship for Sea Cadets. Was built to retrieve spent torpedos on training ranges.




A ferry boat in Florida, been running since the early 1800's. and the last one in the USA like this. If I remember right that is the St George River. Ferry saves a 70 mile trip to a bridge and back to the landing. The landing here in the Ocala National Forest, you park facing the river and blink your headlights for the ferry to come and get you. Costs 10.00$



Chemical Valley, Canada...there is a service station right over there, no customer today that I can see. Can take 3 ships at a time for refuel, pick up supplies and have minor repairs done.




A Great Lakes frieghter, likely 1000 ft long.

Hard for me to appreciate how large your lakes are compared with ours in the UK.
