It looks like the swing is on type of vessel, ?? Rob I love the coloring in this one, that dress is beautiful. tigs=^..^=

She's very pretty and like the casual look on the swing - really like her shoes - another wonderful work - keep them coming

Yep, it is a vessel of some type, as Sandi mentioned. Moderate in size and still in port, as can be seen by the building seen in the far right distance. It's not a particularly well-maintained ship because the wooden deck shows no sign of holystoning, in fact there's a fairly nasty stain on the deck, originating from the bottom corner of the bulkhead (I'm former U.S. Navy) on the far right. There's no real way to tell if the swing she's on is there strictly for the amusement of passengers or for maintenance by the crew, but I'm guessing maintenance; there's a twist in the support rope on the right side of the swing (and not on the left), indicating (to me, anyway) that this was an element that was put together without much thought to perfection, something that would have been considered when creating a feature to impress passengers... y'know... the "customer is always right" concept. My wife had twin aunts named Blanche and Beulah and, when she was born, my mother-in-law was going to name her Blanche. Blanche, in turn, declared "You can't give my horrid name to that beautiful baby girl!" In the case of miss Satchel, however, she has overturned that declaration... she's quite sweet, no matter her name. I agree with Sandi about the dress.. the coloring of the applique'd details makes the dress.

Rob, I've read the 'analyzing' comment of 'Nik' with interest.
To me it was a 'common' small or medium type merchant ship and not one with the capability to accommodate passengers. Therefore the swing was probably mounted there only for this photographic opportunity. But that's not that important, because miss Blache Satchell has to play the key role, and she does! To me, you did a terrific good job again. It's amazing that you were able to create from a black dress (because of the original B&W photograph) a dress with a splendid color and colorful applications on it.
A reason that I repeat again that you're a virtuoso in that matter, my friend!

I was so sure this was a still frame from one of those Final Destination movies. In the next shot, she's being strangled in the ropes of her swing, or being parboiled by a rupture in the live steam pipe behind her. Or one of the overhead Klieg lights breaks loose and comes down like the buzzsaw-hatbox in Master of the Flying Guillotine. Truly a high water mark in cinema history. The takeaway here though, is never pay too much attention to a poster clearly off his meds. Or this is the rabbit hole you wind up in.
