 A great visit to the Historic dockyard.

Chatham

Since the fall we have been rather constrained in our travels. This weekend we went back to chatham Dockyard. Similar shots to what I have shot in the past but nice light.

Boats and Ropes

This weekend was a time for friends to visit. Weather was very cold but dry so we ended up at Chatham Dockyard and then the Cutty Sark at Greenwich. All boats and ropes.

Chatham Dockyard

We had a second visit to Chatham Maritime museum. The site is so large that It is more than a days visit. This trip was spent around the RNLI lifeboat museum. Then a short walk to the docks.

Down at Chatham  Dockyard again today to collect Daughter and her final project at the end of her college annual show. As usual I had my camera with me and intended to photograph a rather impressive bit of machinery that was sitting a corner of the car park. 

I had my camera a couple of lenses but failed to put a memory card in the the camera!!! Luckily daughter had her camera so I did manage to get a couple of images. 

The machinery was rather impressive. existed from the days of riveted ship construction and was designed to cut a 1.25" hole through 1.5" of mild steel .
