River Ice Breaking 01
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 LdB |

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. -- HP, aka Jerry "That's all I have to say about that" - Forrest Gump |

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 |

The link is to the Amphibex web site http://www.normrock.ca/1/The_Amphibex/The_Amphibex What a great invention, seeïng the video's on the page its simply great. I never saw a ship like this, thats the interesting thing of this newsgroup. Starting years ago with Tallships, we ran out of pictures from, Tallships. Then the regulars decided to accept any ship because we are all lovers of the sea. Even lighthouses are allowed, even a wooden shoe with a sail. That keeps this NG alive. If we only accepted tallships this group would be dead by now. -- Greetings Bouler (The Netherlands) |
