"Clipper Meridian"

"Shipspotting.com" says the "Clipper Meridian" is a heavy-lift general cargo ship built in Aarhus Denmark in 1996, with length of 331 feet (101m), with a beam of 69 feet (21m), and drawing 25.5 feet (7.8m); 6310 Gross Tonnage. Last reported location in May 2018 was off the Tsugaru Strait near Japan. Lying off Eastport Maine, empty and riding high, she is probably waiting for a load of shredded wood chips for paper processing somewhere. With many owners and names in the 21st Century, she was only named "Clipper Meridian" between Sept 2010 and Oct 2012; and is now named "NB Atlantic", flagged in Israel, based in Haifa. In the background is Campobello Island, New Brunswick Canada, where Franklin Roosevelt's summer cottage is located. (However, the white building is not Roosevelt's house.)

East Quoddy Head (New Brunswick)

... the compass is spinning in circles: East Quoddy is actually north of West Quoddy; but there are lighthouses in both places ... this is the southeast coast of a very narrow(!) peninsula traversed by Lighthouse Road, leading to Head Harbour Lighthouse ...

This Kind of Shoreline Needs a Lighthouse

The far-northern end of Campobello Island tapers down into a very narrow peninsula: East Quoddy Head. Several rocky islets there are accessible only at low tide, and on the farthest one is located the Head Harbour Lightstation: the lighthouse and a number of substantial auxiliary buildings.

Don't Get Your Feet Wet

HFF !! ... The path to Head Harbour Lightstation is up this stairway and then over some small rugged islands; access to these stairs is across a sandbar that is only passable at low tide. Unless visitors there make a quick dash over-and-back, they are stuck for 12 hours ... until the next falling tide exposes the bottom of this stairway. This is not water for wading; high/low tidal range is about 7 meters. Nor is the weather often calm and sunny -- foggy and with dangerous waves is more the norm.

Upper Story Windows (from blue-collar to chic)

This parking garage has since been transformed into two restaurants and an art gallery ... And on the upper two floors, more than a dozen sophisticated rental apartments with open space floor plans.
