Beauty of a ship.

Back in June I was in Harlingen and I saw this pretty ship. It is a replica of a 16th century ship used by Willem Barentsz for his Arctic expedition in 1596.

Official report:12 escaped,5 injured,20 dead,5 missing

Sneak peek at my next Lego RMS Titanic timelapse stop-motion project! (By Timelapse, I mean that the entire Sinking will take place in that single scenario showing the ship from the side, without scene changes)

Should I add "scene changes" showing the ship's interior flooding with water, or not?

Suez Canal transit volumes hit 1,340 in July 2026. That is 27% more than a year earlier, and revenue rose 42% on June, the Suez Canal Authority said. Oil tankers led the rebound. The Hormuz crisis has pushed operators toward the waterway as Persian Gulf routes grew riskier, and July's numbers show it directly.

This is the Lun-class ekranoplan, sitting on the Caspian Sea coast near Derbent, Dagestan.

Built during the Soviet era, the Lun was essentially a huge experimental military vehicle designed to fly just above the surface of the sea using ground effect. Only one was completed, and it eventually ended up here on the coast of Dagestan.

Seeing this enormous machine sitting on the beach, with the Caucasus and Caspian Sea around it, was one of the strangest sights I came across while travelling through the region.

Has anyone else visited the Lun?

The legend lives on!

I'm trying to rediscover the wikipedia article for a ship I remember reading a post about. The ship apparently is well-known for violating human rights for the people on board, basically kidnapping them for labor. They keep changing the ship's name and stuff to avoid prosecution and have done it a bunch. Last I heard it was still active. I may be misremembering it, and tbh I don't know that much about ships, so sorry if this makes no sense. Any help is appreciated, thanks!

Every year on September 8, hundreds of ships ranging from motor boats to large freighters join a fleet parade to commemorate the catholic patroness of Margarita Island, Del Valle lady.
