A quick post and run today, my friends. My apologies for falling behind on site visits and support, I’ve found myself bogged down on a project, which has severely cut into my time unexpectedly.
In the meantime, I thank you so much for stopping by and supporting my efforts here. It’s greatly appreciated!
Today we have a look at an historic ship, the USCGC (United States Coast Guard Cutter) Taney, moored outside of the Baltimore Maritime Museum in the city’s inner harbor. She was built in the 1930s in the Philadelphia Naval Yard and remained in service for nearly 50 years. What makes this ship particularly special? It is the last remaining ship afloat that saw battle duty in the attack on Pearl Harbor on December 7th, 1941.
The ship was decommissioned at Portsmouth, Virginia and donated to the city of Baltimore. Roger B. Taney (pronounced taw-nee) was a Marylander from Calvert County.
I took the image below about a year or so ago. Enjoy!

That is a very cool composition Jimi. Not only did you get ship at a great angle but you also added to the scene with those buildings and their reflections.
Looks like you were there at the perfect time Jimi, that lighting is incredible!
Wonderful shot Jimi. The reflection of the buildings looks like an impressionist painting.
Awesome POV and color Jimi!

Really interesting processing. Seems to pop out. It’s like the image has two dimensions in which one is real and one is a painting. Very cool.

Just perfect how the ship is filly lit, but in shade, contrasted with the glorious light on the far side buildings.
