I have always been fascinated as well with big ships. I live in MN and often go to Duluth and the north shore just to watch them. I think in another life I must have been either on the water or on a ship because I feel warmed and chilled by them at the same time. Nice blog.

My father is a boat designer, and I loved going to work with him and watching the patient craftesmen bend, shape, sand and fit the pieces together. There is a lost dignity and elegance in travel these days. A hurriedness to get somewhere often zooms us past the magnificence of the road, and leaves us with no appriciation of the journey itself. One of my favortie quotes is "Life is about the journey, not the destination." It was stately ladies such as the one above that proved that point for years and generations. Thanks for the post, and thanks for visiting my blog today. Amie I grew up around boats.
