;D Yes I know this an unusual post, but if any of you members live near the sea or have taken photo`s of cargo/passenger ships etc on your holidays(even the local ferry) pls post them here. Trying to build up enough to post on a webste.
Thanks for you help.

I've never been on a ship in my life Tex. the nearest i've been is on a pilot boat trip to Puffin Island Wales UK, but i must admit ships are very impressive ;D

oh i just realized.. i have some in my photos.. one of the ICEBIRD... a danish ship which my brother went to the antarctic on.. it is an ice breaker.. we had lunch on it one day, when it was docked at Melbourne. If i get time next week, i will scan it and post it for you.

Hi Texasboy. Man after my own heart.
I too am a maritime man and have been since a boy. Currently I sail a turn of the century, square-rigged ( brigantine ) Baltic trader.
Here I am waving from the t'gallant starboard yard at the Whitehaven Maritime festival.

I also visited Belafast the last two summers for your excellent maritime festival and we were open to the public, come and see us next summer!.
I have a vast resource of ship photography as our family owned a ship repairers and engineers. I shall find more for you later as it's very late now.
Meanwhile have a couple of these.

Oh and I almost forgot, I'm a painter as a hobbyist since my semi_retirement and here is my interpretation of out tub under full sail in the Irish Sea.

I'm new here and don't wish to offend anyone but all my images are under the protection of a creative commons licence and have some rights reserved. This won't matter to you of course but I thought it safer to mention in case they turn up elsewhere. You may do as you wish with them for personal use and I'll find you many more should you wish.

I'd add to this, but all I have are profiles of combat ships. I have a ton of military PDF's that just happened to pick up naval stuff. I specialize in WW2 A/C....particularly those of aces with more than 200 victories. Anyone got Osprey books?
-
;D Many thanks to both of you. I still have the scars from the "cat of nine tails".
cheers

I like drawing and painting I haven't done any classes or anything like that I just find it really relaxing but I have to be in the mood to do it I prefer to make my own/create my own pics mostly I prefer sceneries
