An unusual and very rare love token in form of an anchor with chain, 1878
This piece is based on the Welsh Love Spoons. And was made from one piece of rosewood.
Similar to the Love Token ( the carved coins, which shows her that he love her and will not forget her) , the Love Spoons were given to the adored one, so that she would think of him when he was at sea and show her that he had serious intentions and wanted to marry her.

Basically what I’m saying is “thing that moves like a distorted gif, but in meatspace” works much better than “thing with tons of tentacles” as a visual representation of cosmic horror, IMHO.
Nowadays, sure, but human depictions of cosmic ineffability are always informed by time and place. In the early days of deep-sea exploration, “thing with tons of tentacles” was the very pinnacle of “holy shit what is that”; it’s just that the symbol has aged in a way that the substance has not.
CEPHALOPODS IN 1918: horrors from the unknowable depths of blackness only made only the more horrific by animate motions suggesting a flicker of intelligence within their shapeless, fleshy coils CEPHALOPODS IN 2018: squashy frends 🐙😍

1918 : CEPHALOPODS
2018 : CEPHALOPODS
The thing is, I think this cycle is going to keep repeating- Once we understand things, they’re no longer frightening, so by 2118: Glitchy Friend!!
I wonder what Unspeakable Horror will be in 2118?
The jetties and piers of #portphillipbay are popular destinations for snorkellers and scuba divers. These structures provide substrate for a diverse range of marine plants and animals which have taken advantage of the idealistic location and stability of these pylons over the years.

If you really wanna get a sense of just how fucking big blue whales really are, then consider the fact that the dolphins swimming in front of this whale are over two metres long
While 100% a species of dolphin i want to point out those are ORCAS. if anyone got confused for a second like i did. Those are fucking orcas. Holy shit that is a giant fucking whale.
Each orca is over 6.5 feet long, Americans.
guys, just, no. these are likely pacific whitesided dolphins, a criminally adorable cetacean found in the North Pacific that does indeed average at around 2.3-2.5 meters long.
now THIS is an orca, pictured here in the act of headbutt-murdering a common dolphin right into fucking oblivion. (common dolphins are about the same size as the pacific whitesided dolphin, for scale.)
that’s right, orcas max out at an astonishing 25 feet long, or well over 7 meters. that’s almost a quarter as long as that blue whale, and is just generally way too fucking big to deal with today when you remember that we’re talking about an apex predator the size of a minibus. they’re simply too big to be mistaken for anything else in the ocean!
orcas eat a wide variety of foods depending on their location, from herring to that really unfortunate common dolphin up there (rip.) if I really wanted to give the lowdown on them I’d be here all day, but I’ll tell you that orcas are also the only known predator to hunt and kill blue whales. so lets just be glad it’s only the dolphins in that first pic!
also here’s a cheerful reminder that the evolutionary rise of the Orca mysteriously coincided perfectly with the decline and extinction of Megalodon!
coincidence, I’m sure. have a good night, everybody!
The Orca arriving in the world’s oceans, seeing the Megalodon: “I’m about to end this man’s whole career”
I love how this started as admiring blue whales and ended in quaking in fear over giant murder tuxedos
There are no confirmed reports of wild orcas preying on humans, though. We’re not considered prey items to them - too small and bony.

Contemporary model of Turumas Lodbrok (built 1771) in the Maritime Museum in Stockholm.
The archipelago fleet (Swedish skärgårdsflottan), officially called the Army Fleet (Swedish arméns flotta), was a branch of the Swedish army between 1756 and 1823. It was founded on the initiative of the commander of the fortress Sveaborg Augustin Ehrensvärd. It was to support the army in landing operations, protect the flanks of the land forces and protect the Swedish coast, which is surrounded by many small islands, the archipelago. The naval formation was largely independent of the army and navy during its existence, with the exception of a brief period in the late 1760s.Their ships included smaller galleys, prame, cannonboats and special frigates (Swedish: Skärgårdsfregatt), which had a shallow draught and could be moved with oars. This enabled them to navigate the shallow and confusing island waters.
The archipelago fleet participated in naval battles in the Seven Years’ War (1756-1763), the Russian-Swedish Wars (1788-1790) and (1808-1809), the Danish-Swedish War (1808-1809) and the Swedish-Norwegian War (1814).
The Turuma was one of four different classes and is a three-masted archipelago frigate, was built from 1760 and designed by Fredrik Henrik af Chapman. This powerful vehicle, the size of a frigate, was available in four different classes: Udema, Pojama, Turuma and Hemmema. The type designation corresponded to the name of Finnish landscapes (Nyland, Österbotten, Åboland and Tavastland). The ocean-going ships had one or two decks and could be rowed. In contrast to the galleys, the crew could sleep below deck in hammocks. Their advanced artillery stood midships and was able to shoot in both directions. In addition, they were like the ships of the naval fleet broadside vehicles. The disadvantage of the ship was its relatively large draught and the well-trained personnel required to operate the rigs. The draught only allowed an average rudder speed of about half a knot. The length of the ships was between 23.8 and 35.6 m, the width between 5.5 and 10 m and the draught between 1.8 and 3.1 m. The ships were equipped with a rig with a rig with a rig with a rig with an average rudder speed of about half a knot. In addition to the sails, 14 to 16 pairs of belts were available for locomotion.
