Hi Everyone!!
Well I thought I'd share the pictures I took sunday, when I was down at the marina!

Not sure if I need a 56k warning $:-\$ , anyways Enjoy!

This is the ferry my dad captains on, a bit boxy but theres alot worse

A busy day in the harbor, notice the ferries at the new terminal across the river.

Empire state building ahead, chrysler building to the far right (shiny) and the back of the colgate clock far left

Something you dont see everyday (here that is)

A nice view of the city and some fools that shouldnt be driving boats

Walkway in LSP (Liberty State Park)

Navy Vessel

Statue of Liberty Vessel

Tallest Building in NJ goldman Saxx

The Ferry headed to manhattan with the Empire State Building in View

Some Choppers flying where the towers used to be RIP

Norweigan Dawn haded out for its weekly cruise headed past World Financial Center

Some of the smaller boats in the marina

If you like the outside you should see the inside (yes ive been on it

You know your speedboats too big when you need a semi to pull it

Hope you enjoyed these!
Cheers,
Matt

New York City is very big, as big as the future ship, Freedom Ship. I would have enjoyed NY if My family has a free month

Even better to see the new World Trade Center which is due in a couple of years.

Capt. Matt · « **Reply #13 on:** September 15, 2009, 20:28:33 »

They may say a couple of years, but we all know things get delayed, again, again, again, and yet again

Hello Capt. Matt,
Very nice pictures, many thanks.
You labeled the 7th picture as that of a French Navy vessel? It looks more like an Arleigh Burke class destroyer, her hull number DDG-64 being that of USS Carney. A nice ship anyway

Regards,
Luc

Capt. Matt · « **Reply #15 on:** September 15, 2009, 20:41:35 »

I wasnt too sure to be honest, I saw that her flag was red white and blue (Not sure in what order of if it was vertically or horizontally)

My dad mentioned something about them being dutch, but I think you would know more than we would

LucAtC · « **Reply #16 on:** September 15, 2009, 21:11:04 »

Why she would have carried a Tango flag (Red white blue, not blue white red) is a mystery to me. Under Quebec (yellow), it would have meant something like stay at a distance of my anchoring. But the identity cannot be mistaken, thanks to the obvious funnels ... 4 gas turbines. Also, the silhouette is well known, alas, due to the many pictures of USS Cole.

Regards,
Luc

Capt. Matt · « **Reply #17 on:** September 15, 2009, 21:13:01 »

Hmm As I said you would know better than I would All I know is at her stern I saw a red white and blue flag I think lets see if I can find a picture

Opps, Sorry luke that was on another navy vessel I saw

Behind the hill you can see a ship passing and at the ships stern is the flag, I mixed up the ships

Capt. Matt · « **Reply #19 on:** September 15, 2009, 21:18:20 »

Haha thanks, no you cant, but you can give youtube links

LucAtC · « **Reply #20 on:** September 15, 2009, 21:35:01 »

The frigate in the background is indeed Dutch, one of the Multipurpose frigates of the Karel Doorman's class, that can be seen in a ShipSim Pro advertising.
Thanks for the pictures,

Luc

Capt. Matt · « **Reply #21 on:** September 15, 2009, 21:38:10 »

No Problem and sorry about my lack of flag knowledge

I thought that I'd take these pictures though because Were down there every weekend, but it never occured to me to take pictures
