Brian, here’s one of my very few boats – you might have to squint to see it.
Okay, here’s a super-aggressive crop to help. ;^)
Looking forward to seeing more like yours that are a bit closer.

I'm planning a trip to Cape Cod next month. As I look over my list of places, I see I'll have ships, boats, and/or watercraft well covered.
Hi Brian.:)
Great shot, What lens did you use, looks fairly wide?
This is a shot from earlier in the year. home made ultra wide 4x5, 47mm XL.
Cheers Brian from OZ :D
As luck would have it, the SF Bay Area LF meetup group went to Mare Island Shipyard in Vallejo CA this past weekend, so you might see quite a few of those images making their way into this thread. I'll start:
The sail of the SSBN USS Vallejo and some of the ship building/disassembly equipment behind:

A ship being recycled. I was fiddling with trying to shoot through the fence, and then decided to stop down to f/64 and get the fence in the image and embrace that which was previously annoying me:

Another of the same soon-to-be-ex-ship, from further away, over the fence, in Infrared, and I haven't a clue why it looks weird. I don't know if all the mush was in exposure, development, or a little bit of each. IR is always entertaining:

Austin, I like the Almeda
Last year I took my camera to the Sail Amsterdam.
Wake up early and took some shots around 06:30 when it was quit.
