ship and church

the church in the background is St. Mary of the Visitation.  During the warmer seasons this area is packed with ships.  This is a fishing ship not a passenger one.  The passenger ships dock way on the other side about a 15 minute walk from here.  The building on the left is a storage and working area.

  3. Complicated piping on that ship, but it's a nice combination with that church, Bill. I can't tell whether I'm looking at the side or the back.

  5. Fresh caught fish and seafood are the best :-) Used to go to places like this to buy seafood from the fishermen.

  10. Now I wonder (being that kind of thinker) what the difference between a ship and a boat is...thinking of fishing boats usually, rather than ships!

  21. Even in the quieter seasons, the area carries the echoes of activity, and the details, the storage building, the walk to the passenger docks remind us of the rhythm of life by the water.
