Shipping News and information / Help in the ship identification

« on: January 23, 2013, 12:08:16 PM »

Gents, some divers in Russia raised in 2002-2004 ship's bell with "Die Woche" name on it:

It was raised approximately here:

(Cola peninsula, near Russian-Norwegian border)
Looks like this was some german ship. Probable size maybe around 200-400 BRT.
There is no any other signs/marks on this bell. They tried to get information from Hamburg maritime museum, but got only formal reply.
Any idea how to identify the vessel?

Shipping News and information / Let's share collections of lighthouses

« on: October 24, 2011, 07:28:13 PM »

Hello friends!
I would like to introduce you my new internet site www.lightphotos.net. It's intended to make collection of photos of lighthouses around the world. Last years i've visited many of them due to my job, so i put it to the Internet. But looking in general i understood that many lighthouses became relict in epoch of electronic navigation. Many of them are currently being removed from operation and simply abandoned. So i think it's a good idea to take and store photos while they still exist.
The idea of the site is simular to our favorite shipspotting.com - everybody can register and upload photos free and unlimited.
So please if you are interesting in this project and want to participate in it - please have a look here. I will be appreciate for any feedback. If you don't want to participate, but have some photos of the lighthouses and can give me permission to upload it instead of you - simply send it to me via e-mail. Many thanks in advance.
PS I've got the permission to publish this topik (thanks, Derek) so please don't consider it as spam

Help and Advice / Copyright issue - automatic watermark

« on: January 07, 2010, 01:16:29 PM »

Regarding latest FAQ issues and photos distribution to 3rd party. It would be nice to add automatic watermark to all photos with shipspotting.com and author name, for clear identification of the photo source after redistribution and so on.
