Ah, an Iguana, I had to enlarge the picture before I could recognize what I was looking at. Saw those on Aruba.

Guess they're real bad in Florida, invasive species. I see people clearing them out with pellet guns on Utube. There is a bounty on them but don't know how much.
Re: Pictures of Miscellaneous Stuff & Things
Nice pics, guys. We have seen a doe around here several times that has triplets. Pretty rare, I think.
I checked the pics on the new bird bath out front. Lots of deer, crows, dove, squirrels, etc. But we also saw a Cooper's Hawk and a Road Runner. The new watering trough has proven pretty popular during the drought this summer.

Ah. Florida iguanas. Chicken-of-The-Trees.
I have a great niece in Tallahassee. She and her husband shoot them with pellet rifles, then skin, clean, cook and eat.

Re: Pictures of Miscellaneous Stuff & Things
Thanks fellas!
QS, she’s called the San Salvador. Built, owned, and operated by the Maritime Museum of San Diego (where I am a crew member). She’s a replica of the first European ship to sail into San Diego bay. She’s got a pair of diesel engines for emergencies and for getting in and out of the dock. Her sailing rig is fully functional and she typically takes museum visitors sailing every other weekend. She’s one of three fully operational tall ships in our fleet.Quick Steel wrote: ↑Thu Aug 18, 2022 2:04 pm Great photos. Willie, can you provide any information about that wonderful sailing ship?

Have a question. What’s the difference between a boat and a ship !? Understand like my fishing boat and stuff like that ,but was told at one time you don’t want to call a ship a boat or vice versus.

Re: Pictures of Miscellaneous Stuff & Things
Willie, I would also be interested in the answer to JP's question. I know that submarines are boats and not ships, but I don't know why.

"The term "boat" goes back to the earliest days of submarine history, when submarines were literally launched from tenders. A "boat" is launched from a ship - therefore, the earliest submarines were termed "boats" since they were launched and retrieved from ships."

Re: Pictures of Miscellaneous Stuff & Things
That’s a complicated one. In the days of sail the term “ship” didn’t refer to size, but a specific rigging plan. A vessel with three or more masts with square sails on all masts was “ship rigged”. Others were schooners, brigantines, barques, etc.Quick Steel wrote: ↑Fri Aug 19, 2022 12:54 pm Willie, I would also be interested in the answer to JP's question.

In modern times a “ship” generally refers to a vessel over 190 feet long designed to operate on the open ocean, and built for the purposes of transporting passengers or cargo.
Vessels built for pleasure use or fishing are referred to as boats. This is why you see a 200 foot packet freighter called a ship, and some billionaires 300 foot yacht called a boat.
Having said all of that, old (or old style) sailing vessels, no matter their size or rig are colloquially referred to as “tall ships”. Which opens the door to another rabbit hole on what is and is not a TRUE tall ship, but I’ll save that for another thread!

Re: Pictures of Miscellaneous Stuff & Things
A few years ago while we were visiting my wife’s sister in Maine, several “tall ships” sailed into Camden Harbor. I can’t locate the pictures I took of them under sail as a couple of them entered the harbor but here’s some of them docked, at low tide. I don’t know anything about them except we were told they were “tall ships” participating in some sort of regatta.

Re: Pictures of Miscellaneous Stuff & Things
Try these on:
In the days of sail, the rule of thumb was a ship has three or more masts. Anything else is a boat.
Usually, the veteran seaman explains the distinction this way: “You can put a boat on a ship, but you can’t put a ship on a boat.” That’s a fun way of saying, “ships are big, boats are small.”
“A ship has a commander and a crew. A boat just has whoever is on it at the time.” This is true for subs because they have 2 or more crews that take the boat out at different times.
You could get technical and say a ship is at least 197 feet long and intended for “deep water” anything smaller than 197 feet is a boat and intended for coastal or inland water.
