Throwback Maldives Photoday!

Around 2015 I was working at Euro-Divers Maldives. 🏖

Turtles remain beautiful animals and I hope humans give them a chance so that we can share this globe together for a long time to come. 🐢

This is a Platinum #3776 Tortoise celluloid fountain pen. This 5 1/2 inch long pen uses a Platinum converter or cartridges. The bekko (tortoise) pattern translucent celluloid cap, barrel and nib section reminds of the hues of browns, oranges, and whites in the shell of the hawksbill sea turtle, which was hunted for food and its shell almost to extinction. Celluloid has replaced the use of tortoiseshell. Platinum creates the body components from sheet celluloid which is then dried in house. The gold nib is stamped #3776 over the Platinum logo over 14K. The clip and trim are gold plated. The cap band reads Platinum Japan #3776. This model has been available since at least 2010 and retailed for $450 in 2017. Made with fine, medium and broad nibs and a matching ballpoint pen. Current retail price is $480. #pencollecting #fountainpen #platinum #platinumpen #platinumjapan #celluloid #bekko #tortoise #tortoiseshell #hawksbill #penhero https://www.instagram.com/p/B_SRJYtDJ5U/?igshid=5nja6gkk281d

Be free, little one! 

During a research expedition to document shipwrecks off North Carolina in 2017, researchers from Monitor National Marine Sanctuary got to release two rehabilitated sea turtles. This cutie is Puck, a juvenile hawksbill turtle rehabilitated by the North Carolina Sea Turtle Project. The researchers were excited to shellebrate his return to the wild!
