I don't need any encouragement to indulge my interest in Boats and Ships and Rust. So this is for 'jakepithf', me and any other fusiastes.

On the Seine there are Container Ships.

And Cable Laying Ships.

What fun if the did what they do just down the road from 'la spice' on the Charente in Cognac. Mind you the poles might need to be longer.

They even try to walk on water there.

Man over board Captain.
