I took my first pictures here back when I was but a wee lass. This ship has a place deep in my heart and I was fortunate enough to visit her at the Shelburne Museum again after a long absence. I'll leave a link HERE so you can read more about this remarkable last-of-her-kind vessel. For now some stats: 220 feet in length; Beam, 57.9 feet; Draft, 7 feet; capacity, 1070 persons; engine, steam, completed in 1906; Paddlewheels, two Morgan-style (feathering) 28 revs per minute. She operated as an important link and a day boat on Lake Champlain, serving ports along the New York and Vermont shores until 1953; the last commercially operating steamer on the Lake. There's lots more to know but better to experience on this lovingly preserved queen, The Ticonderoga.

She is a beauty - I am glad she found her such a nice final resting place and didn't end up in the scrapyard.

If practice makes perfect and nobody is perfect, then why practice?
Great photo. Colors and clarity are great. I like the information as well and agree that it's a good salvage job. Bust a bottle for me on this one.

You did a wonderful job here PJ. Definitely "Postcardesque". The clouds really add to the overall feel. Very colorful, vibrant and tack sharp.

I think I have heard of this lovely boat before. Such a bright and lovely shot you have of it here and as someone remarked, it has a 'post card' quality with nice bright color and wonderful clarity.

You will be led to the knowledge of the internal things which are invisible to you, by the external things which you see before you. . . . Even so then, we can represent to ourselves in thought the Author of all that is, by contemplating and admiring the (visible) things which He has made, and ever brings into being.

What a funny boat. On the ground.... well why not. We've got some old boats like that near my area, some has been changed in night club, other in museum. A great image, well done my friend.

PJ, wonderful!!! Thanks for the link and the stunning image as well. I know that the US Navy has 'Ticonderoga'-class warships but I never knew that there was another (famous) Ticonderoga too. Regards, Cornelius

Makes me want to get on it and go off on a cruise. That line of clouds in the sky is great PJ - but what a shame this old girl is grounded. Lovely take, very detailed and rich.

THE CAMERA'S ONLY JOB is to get out of the way of making photographs. It's entirely an artist's eye, patience, and skill that makes an image. ~Ken Rockwell VISIT MY GALLERY
Well, that's what I call a dry dock... Awesome picture, the crisp colors are just great. And the sky is beautiful. On the first sight, the very thin clouds look like a steam. The shot is so dynamic that it seems the ship is ready to sail.

She is beautiful. I am always thrilled to see ship history preserved this well. Have you been to the USS Constitution in Boston? Nice job, 'Lil PJ.

Only one improvement could be made to this shot...you could mount a large hidden fan somewhere on the deck so that the flag would be fully extended in a breeze. Other than that, it's perfect! : )
