Photo Safari #13 - Parts is Parts

OK folks, this week I’m going all nautical on you. But with a twist. Let’s look for parts of ships on land. I’m looking for anchors and propellers, pre-fabbed parts and salvaged parts. I’ll also take boats re-purposed for other things like sheds and houses. Ads and murals of ship parts is fine too. They need to be out of the water though. I’m not looking for dry docked ships or plain old boats out of water. Watercraft on static display out of the water is perfectly OK though. Does that make sense?

Post your parts to Transportation > Sea – Parts for full credit.

Happy hunting and have fun!
