Hi Molly, Nice pics. That first one sure stands out against the water. Here are some more for you.
#1 is an oil tanker docked a the refinery across the river in Sarnia , Ont.
#2 is one of the lake freighters that pass through all during the shipping season.
#3 is the parking lot side of the World Headquarters for Boatnerd,com that bbqbull told you about.
#4 is the front side facing the river. The building is about 100 ft long with a glass wall facing the river.
There is a row of tables along the window. The tables are there to use as you please. Some people play
cards,some just watch the boats go by, whateveryou want to do, They do have a coffee and dognut bar and the
coffee is cheap. It is a great place with sidewalks along the river and benches. Also a long parking lot
along the river to park and sit in your car and watch the activity on the water.

Hello, Molly, Here's one more. we were down to the river one day during the early winter when this freighter was
coming downbound and had to make a U-turn in the river so he could dock across the river. In the process of turning
he almost ran his stern end into the bank on our side.

This was home for over 3 years. Visited many ports and launched many aircraft. Lots of memories; good and bad.

Looks like he ran into some rough seas? Send it back to China

Oh I can do that, Molly...

I like boats, too. A lot!

Here's the first one that comes up.

 

[UncleVinnys]

Great shots!
Would make a Somali pirate drool!

No, just kidding!

I lived by a seaport once and it's a real pleasure to see the big ships.
Makes the world go-round.
Thanks for all the postings.

I've got more than a few pics I've found interesting, for one reason or another.

Is this what you wanted to see, Molly?

Or would you prefer I post them on another thread?

Or should I just be posting pics I've taken myself?
