View of the freighter "Sonoma" carrying Dodge and Plymouth cars to Buffalo, New York. Label on back: "Down to the sea in ships. These are days when nearly every available local transportation method has Detroit-made automobiles for cargoes. While hundreds of men crowd the factory drive-away yards, fleets of specially constructed tracks leave for far-off dealer points. Railroad cars, each holding four cars, are strung into miles of trains, and lake vessels, crowded to the decks with cars and trucks, cleave the waters. These are inspiring sights duplicated nowhere in all the world. The picture above shows the good ship Sonoma of the Nicholson Universal Line on its way to Buffalo, carrying Dodge and Plymouth cars to waiting dealers." Stamped on back: "June 23, 1936."

Old and new technology together is always fun, but it can be deceiving too. In this case, the John D. Leitch (the freighter) is actually older than the Playfair (the sailing ship).

To be fair, you can also tell that the Playfair isn't fully "old school" because its moving without the use of its sails.

Caught a Great Lakes freighter unloading stone at Zilwaukee Michigan today.

This is located on the Saginaw River. I’ve been to this boat launch park many times but never saw one of these. It is very huge.

That is a tugboat nestled in at the rear. The tug is the one who has the tall tower. The ship has left and I’m waiting to see if they will get it turned around before I have to leave. Edit: I did not see the ship as it left. Also, it you look on the big white platform you can see a man up there. Yeah, this was huge!!

Went out with some of the roommates as one last hurrah before summer hits in full swing and takes everyone in different directions in life.

I'm the oldest of the group, and they all just graduated and I'm a semester behind. It's been a bit rough for me, emotionally. But it'll be okay.

I start my full-time summer co-op gig tomorrow and I meal prepped a bit for it (just lunches while I'm at work). It was nice, I would've cooked a bit more if it weren't already late and I need to readjust to waking up early.

Enjoy your summer, everyone! Mine will be filled with machinery and florescent lights.

The captain's quarters area on my freighter. It's not terribly large; there's a single tile hallway from the expedition control room, then a 2x2 room that's been split into two 2x1 spaces with a wall and airlock.

The space directly off the hallway has been set up as a living/office area. The next space is a bedroom area. And then there's an airlock leading to an exterior wrap-around balcony, which runs right up to the underside of the starboard stairs.

In that final image you can see the exterior of the greenhouse/kitchen area that's perched up on top.

"Traffic Again Moves Through Canal at Soo," St. Catharines Standard. October 9, 1941. Page 1. --- THE approach to one of the two main approaches to St. Mary's River has been cleared and shipments of ore vital to defence were resumed today. Freighters had been tied up for nearly 48 hours when the railroad bridge collapsed at Sault Ste. Marie. The span is shown here as it blocked the canal. The other main lock is still inaccessible, but engineers hoped to clear it by late today.

Droneliner DL350 is capable of transporting up to 350 tons of cargo over a distance of up to 12 thousand kilometers British company Droneliner is creating advanced unmanned transport aircraft. They are already initially developed taking into account the use of environmentally friendly aviation fuel SAF (Sustainable Aviation Fuel), and in the future a transition to hydrogen is possible. [caption id="attachment_64545" align="aligncenter" width="780"] Airbus A330-200F and Boeing 747-400F[/caption] The company is developing two models: a smaller one – DL200 and a larger one – DL350. These drones will significantly outperform current manned aircraft. For example, if the Airbus A330-200F is capable of transporting cargo weighing 65 tons over a distance of up to 7,400, and the Boeing 747-400F can transport 113 tons over a distance of 7,170 kilometers, then even the “small” DL200 can transport 160-200 tons over a distance of 12 thousand. km. And the DL350 will be able to transport 300-350 tons over the same distance! The Droneliner DL200 will be equipped with one turbofan motor and the Droneliner DL350 – with two. Airbus A330-200F and Boeing 747-400F are the last century. [caption id="attachment_64546" align="aligncenter" width="780"] Airbus A330-200F and Boeing 747-400F[/caption] The creators say that the aircraft is suitable for both civil and military use. They also support in-flight refueling.

One of the things I find interesting with photography is that sometimes I wonder if I'll forget the context of my own photos. In this case, I have to remember that these pictures show a ship leaving rather than arriving in the harbour.

My personal fleet of starships and freighter on my current playthrough. This is a continuation of my Singularity expedition save, which started me off in the blue solar ship shown. It has white sails (the oddly shaped geometric ones) and I decided I liked it enough to keep and level up its class over time. It's been my main ride until recently, but that'll likely change now that I have multiple good options.

Since my ship was blue and white, I decided to use that as the colours for my player character as well, with red as an accent colour:

The next ship I got was my freighter, which I was lucky enough to come across already in a blue and white colour scheme, in a model of freighter I'm particularly fond of *Imperial March begins playing*. I should buy red paint once I have the nanites to spare so it'll better match my character's colours. I'm still working on building my freighter base; at some point there will probably be pictures.

The interceptor is the second starship I got myself, while puttering around salvaging interceptors for cash (they're not as good for nanites as salvaging regular starship wrecks, but they're all double-figured millions of spendable cash in value, so well worth the bit of extra work to locate when you want to build up your wallet quickly). Mostly blue and black with just a small amount of green, and of course red lights.

Next up was finally finding a starship with a very small footprint to use as my summonable construction material storage (very useful when doing base building). I was originally thinking of getting one of the smaller models of shuttle or fighter in blue and/or white also, but then this little yellow exotic crossed my path and, well, high viz colours are pretty standard in construction machinery, aren't they?

And finally yesterday I completed the Starbirth quest line, and killed waaaaaaay too many hours spawning fallen hosts to go check out. As in my just-before-getting-in-starship save was made at 17:39 local time and it was after 2am before I gave in and decided the current ship was good enough (liked the shape, not a particular fan of the colours).

I'm still kicking myself that I didn't keep this much earlier spawn, whose colours I liked a lot more (black or possibly very dark blue, and green, on a cream base); I was just iffy on the weird feet placement:
