Mega One Triton (2) - 28 January 2014

nobody@ipernity.com (John Oram) — Sat, 22 Feb 2014 21:16:10 +0000

The freighter Mega One Triton was beached on Grand Turk during Hurricane Sandy on 25 October 2012 and remained there in January 2014. The vessel has been the subject of ongoing discussions but, in the meantime, makes a classic wreck image.

Explorations Cafe, Holland America Eurodam (in port at Grand Turk). This was a very difficult shot to take in terms of reducing reflection on the case.

This picture was taken from our arriving ship before I could be assured of a closer, clearer shot.

Eurodam at Grand Turk (5) - 28 January 2014

I recognise that my pictures of cruise ships can seem very repetitive but I am trying to satisfy two objectives. As previously stated, I hope to photograph every cruise ship in every port it visits. I am also trying to come up with some views which go beyond the formal and predictable, views which both document and please the eye.

The Holland America Eurodam was at Grand Turk on the first of four island calls on The Jazz Cruise 2014 which originated in Fort Lauderdale. As our first port of call on this cruise and a very beautiful destination, it excited me quite a bit.

The conch shell was a little difficult to expose correct;y. The wood grain is wonderful. This is an abstract on Grand Turk.

This whale sculpture by California based Storyland Studios is at the Grand Turk Cruise Center. I am a little puzzled that references online, mixing plural with singular, refer to two whales although I saw only one.

View towards Cockburn Town from the east side of the island. Grand Turk is only about two miles wide so it is not difficult to see from coast to coast from some vantage points.

Friendship 7 (2) - 28 January 2014

John Oram has posted:

On 20 February 1962, the Mercury-Atlas Friendship 7 capsule, with John Glenn on board, orbited the Earth three times before returning to the Atlantic near Grand Turk. A replica capsule is part of a display in the slightly incongruous surroundings of that island's Cruise Center shops and this example is a short distance away outside the island's airport. The Eurodam, on which we had arrived at Grand Turk, can be seen in the background. Our guide suggested that this was the original capsule but conceded that it might be another replica. Online resources place the actual original in the National Air and Space Museum, Washington.
