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

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.
