Description
Captured on my old Sears (Pentax) film camera, way way back in 1983. These three came out came out very nicely, with just a minimum of postwork required.
RMS Queen Mary is a ship permanently based in Long Beach, California and docked in the harbor. It was an ocean liner that sailed in the North Atlantic Ocean from 1936 to 1967.

Nice photos. Somehow make me think of the Titanic. Must be the funnels and their cables. Nice that the photo quality is good on these. Interesting with the large orange ventilators located beside each funnel - these must be for the boilers, based on their location. I see the ship is afloat inside a break water - I've wondered about that (afloat, or resting on dry ground like the USS Texas). How much water is between the bottom of the hull and bottom of the enclosure? Again, thinking about hull maintenance (painting, fighting rust and leaks, etc...). Keep up the good work. More photos please (inside, engine rooms, and so on). :-)
Three very beautiful shot from this majestic ship, Harry.
wow you was on the ship too.
The Queen Mary is currently cradled in a bank of sand when at low tide it hits bottom. At High tide mainly in November the ship rises afloat up to about 7'. The ship is immersed in about 30-35' of water.
Impressive and interesting closeups and the captures are excellent ☺
It's so weird, Harry: On my Mac, these showed up as black and white on your Profile AND Gallery page, and I didn't know why. They still show up that way, a week later. But the original photos are in color. Ah well, go figure RR...
3 more complex shots, showing your native sense of the collision of forms and planes and such. And how they interact. Very complex almost architectural compositions. The top one shows not only the massing of smoke stacks (forgive my wrong terminology), but also the lineup of rescue boats along the side. Real perspective there, and massing. The 2d shot shows the contrast between that huge 'vent' on the left (if that's what it is) and the smokestack on the right. Lots of linear movement, a real abstract. And the final shot shows more repetition---this time of those curved "arms" that hold the rescue boats (or fishing boats, whatever they are), next to the plankway; and then the vents etc, etc. Quite a geometric and complex bunch of abstracts. You had the eye all the way back then---for finding contrast and activity in all these angles. Fine formal seeing, Harry. They become highly complex 'art constructions' in your hands. I can see how a ship like this would be a wonderful festival for your eye...
