    These are not seafaring photos but a lot of seafarers were interested in their music.
    I took these photos in a bar, called Hard Rock Cafe, in Lahaina, Maui, Hawaii.
    all autographed by the late great Hank Williams, Buddy Holly, Big Bopper and Ritchie Valens.

    Default La Zingara

    Hi there
    Can anyone direct me to a photo or pic of this ship?
    Built in 1860 in Liverpool, she was a 287 ton barque used on the Liverpool Argentina run. She belonged to the Thomas B. Royden & Co fleet.
    best regards

    These three pics were taken as slides in 1968,that is why the quality is so poor. But they show a ship I was on,the Demeterton, stuggling around the Cape of Good Hope in a bit of a storm. That last wave shook us like a terrier shakes a rat and the impact forced the Windlass back by two inches. It was one hell of a thud,

    Captain Kong.
    We went to Hawaii mid 1993 and went to see the HRC @ Maui It realy is a great place to visit. Here is a copy of one of their advertisement's.

    (Ever play that game where you sit around and try to imagine what albums you'd want on a desert island? Well, wonder no more! We've forged ahead and made the decision easy for you at the Hard Rock Cafe Maui, where rocking out is elevated to an art form. We've got great tunes a-plenty, so pack light, catch a wave and surf on over! The historical backdrop of Old Lahaina town (once the capital of Hawaii) provides an alluring setting, with a lush tropical locale beyond compare and local sights that'll blow your mind, including Haleakala, "the House of the Sun," the world's largest dormant volcano.

    From our cafe's quiet garden-style oasis, drink in majestic Pacific vistas, get a close-up glimpse of whales on their migration paths, or just sit back, relax, and enjoy the airy look and feel of our glorious open beam, A-frame ceiling. Marvel at our various island-inspired memorabilia, including an entire wall dedicated to surfer greats Derek Ho, Brock Little, and Kelly Slater. So when the surf's down, or even when it's up, get on over to our most exotic location around- the Hard Rock Cafe Maui!)

    Hi Reg,
    thanks for that, it realy is just that, a beautiful island where you can sit with a cool beer and watch the whales blowing spray as they swim past on their way north Hard Rock Cafe is a very interesting bar to be in.
    Lahaina is a place I could enjoy living in. Then there is the worlds biggest Banyon tree at the market,
    This Banyan Tree was first planted in April, 1873, and marked the 50th Anniversary of Christian missionary work in Lahaina. The tree was imported from India was only 8 feet tall. It now stands over 60 feet high, has 12 major trunks in addition to a huge core. It stretches over a 200-foot area and shades 2/3 of an acre.

    Not so much ships as boats I guess, but here's some nautical scenes from beautiful Cortes Island, British Columbia, Canada. I was lucky enough to spend a month here in 2006.

    Cheers lads. It is indeed a lovely place. Only tiny and squeezed in between the Rockies and Vancouver Island, which you can see in the background and which is huge, the size of Britain.
    The light there was amazing, very different to here and great for photography.
