There is the Interesting Boats thread, but I thought I'd start one that is more just for interesting photos of boats, on boats, with boats, boats doing things, etc. So here are some of mine....
The first (and only) sailboat my wife has been on under sail is the Bluenose II out of Lunenburg, Nova Scotia. First two shots are from that experience.
The little Columbia gillnetter is one of my favorite kinds of boat. Similar boats were used in the Bristol Bay salmon fishery and the Monterey herring fishery. First boat that ever made an impression on me was one like this when I was a toddler in Sausalito, CA. The boat was was painted yellow and green and named Lucky Lady. She was probably responsible for my love of water stuff--- boats, floatplanes, ships, fishing, etc. Photo was taken in Fisherman's Bay on Lopez Island.
The Devon is typical of the vessels that anchor in the Vendovi anchorage outside Bellingham Bay where they way to load or unload at the two Anacortes refineries.
The custom lobsterboat Happy Destiny is owned by the folks we do a lot of cruising with. Shot is at Turn Point on Stuart Island.
The Lindsey Foss lives most of the time in Bellingham where it assists tankers, bulk carriers, and cold storage boats moving through the islands. I took this shot as we came out the entrance to our harbor.
I took the two lobsterboat shots on a trip a few years ago to Prince Edward Island.
I took the shot of the purse seiner Tribute from our slip as she was coming out in the 150-ton Travelift at Seaview North.
