Great images of the SS Beaver and very interesting history! I absolutely love that last picture in your series - the perspective and the reflections is awesome!!

That is a really interesting history and quite a unique looking ship. I like the first shot a lot - very nice detail and perspective - but all the photos serve to give a good feel for the ship.

Wonderful trio of shots! I like the angle you shot it at and your cropping and processing. Thank you for the link!

A fine set of images indeed, what a grand old ship.

I like the top one the best--the framing sets off the basic black and white of the boat.
