Boats (wooden and sailing), harbors, maritime landscapes (maybe with a high degree of Norway and Scotland) and such. Daily I post one of my own pictures. Expect one of my own and one reblogged picture daily, only occassionally more. Thanks to everyone who puts his pictures on tumblr so I can reblog them! (Read this also as: I try to reblog only from original sources or where the license is clear.) Look here for most (count > 1) tags used by me (tagcloud).

AT SEA.

Ship and boat diverged; the cold, damp night breeze blew between; a screaming gull flew overhead; the two hulls wildly rolled; we gave three heavy-hearted cheers, and blindly plunged like fate into the lone Atlantic.

If this is chronologically then there seems to be no picture about the crew selection and assemble process (the hiring). Too bad, it was one of the core competences of the whaling companies which allowed them to pivot during the gold rush (see also The dynamic resource-based view: Capability lifecycles by Constance E Helfat; Margaret A Peteraf in Strategic Management Journal; Oct 2003).

Estonian Construction Workers Dig Up Medieval Ships

TALLINN:  The capital of Estonia is perhaps not the place where one would expect to find the remains of medieval ships, but that is exactly what happened to a group of construction workers in Tallinn this week.

While working on the foundations for high-end apartments in a seaside area of the Baltic state’s capital, the men noticed something strange in the ground: the remains of at least two ships thought to be from the 14th-17th centuries.

“We were digging the ground, when we found some massive wooden pieces, and we decided this might be something interesting,” said Ain Kivisaar, spokesman for property developer Metro Capital. Read more.

“The capital of Estonia is perhaps not the place where one would expect to find the remains of medieval ships” ???

An old, important, and rich hanseatic city would be the very first place for me to search for the remains of medieval ships.

Or the parking lot of an existing ship museum when expanding the buildings for the existing boats.
