River Ice Breaking 01

L D'Bonnie added these comments in the current discussion du jour ... On the Red River in Manitoba. During the spring break up ice will occasionally jamb up and dam the river, flooding the surrounding area. The Amphibex machine breaks up the ice so that it will move down stream without piling up. The link is to the Amphibex web site http://www.normrock.ca/1/The_Amphibex/The_Amphibex Now, THIS is a "tall-ship"! grin Perhaps a renaming of the group is in order. Something like alt.binaries.pictures.tall.short.long.lean-ships-boats-things.tha t.float.or.not.and.kids.on.cannons Nah! I like it just fine, but note the "grin" after my comment as I really did think the "ship" was pretty damn interesting, I've certainly never seen anything like it before, so I downloaded it for my slide show screen saver. Yes, I see the smiley face after your comment so I imagine you're also kidding in a way. You imagined correctly. There have been many posts to the group that "stretch" things a tad. I plead guilty to a few of them myself. Unusual photos provide interesting fill between the rare tall ship posts. I have saved a few of your "nearly on topic" posts. Just so you don't have to imagine this time, I believe this image will clarify things. LdB |

Just so you don't have to imagine this time, I believe this image will clarify things. Before I started posting, I asked about the apparent broad meaning of "tall-ships" to include about anything that floats. Bouler, among others, commented pretty much as you did, namely that so long as it is a ship or a boat, it is acceptable. And, there appears not to be a FAQ document, so I've restricted my posts to approximately the categories of boats & ships I saw here, although I, too, have stretched the definition as well but nobody seems to be complaining so why make a fuss when there is any, right?! -- HP, aka Jerry "That's all I have to say about that" - Forrest Gump |
