Oevelgönne lightship

Gorgeous !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

beautiful contrast

Jolie compo

It is perhaps worth pointing out that the red lighthouse tower behind the stern of Elbe 3 is not a part of Elbe 3.
Nice shot dear LGM x

Yes - it does look as if it's perched on the back of the lightship. Thank you for your stern warning, and I bow to your integrity dear Nick. ;-)

Ha, stern and bow ;-) great pic anyway!

Your reply raises a beaming smile x

I'm so prowed to have raised a smile, and almost keeled over when I read you comment. x x

Well I think that you have scuppered all of the puns now ~ good job your feet are well anchored or you might sail away in the breeze xxx

un beau voilier !!

Magnifiquement rendu et bien cadré +++++

The lightship has really lovely lines - practical yet very beautiful. A smashing shot Amelia!

A great old ship, do you know her age Amelia?

The red of the lightship is arresting! This wasn't there on Friday eveing or have I overlooked it?

Ich denke mal, sie hat da ein wenig nachgeholfen. Aber das Rot ist echt

Beautiful captured. I am sad that I wasn't in the best physical fitness during the IPER tour!

I like that you present the ships from the ferry view. Here are some data about the light vessel:
Year of construction: 1888 - originally the ship had a sails with 3 masts.
In 1936 the ship received its current main engine system during an extensive conversion and was electrified. The middle mast was replaced by a chimney.
Until 1966 the lightship was located in the Weser estuary under the name "Weser" as a floating navigation sign.
The name "Elbe 3" refers to the last location in the Elbe north-east of Neuwerk Island.
The lightfire consists only of the three lamps on the front mast.

You have a wealth of information, Klaus. I have added your notes to the description. Thank you so much. x x
