c.s. Pacific Guardian with some of the guys out on deck, braving atrocious weather in order to try and secure some mushroom anchors that had broken loose.
This was the big storm that "Pac-G" endured on her first attempt at repairing the CANTAT-3 submarine telecoms cable in the North Atlantic, off the Grand Banks of Newfoundland in January, 2007
I was not there, (fortunately!) - So I definitely was not the photographer.
(If whoever took thi sphoto would like to post a comment or send me an e-mail, I would be glad to give the credit where it is due!)

That, I don't know... (All I can say is that it has nothing - as far as I know - to do with a long-mooted, planned, discussed to death and 20 years overdue, new international airport, for Manila...)

Amazing. They built bridges to last, in those days...
We have had to replace the entire bridge decks on two of the bridges on the GCR - and undertaken extensive refurbishment works on a third one - all within the City of Loughborough. (These were constructed during the last 2 or 3 years of the 19th century...)
So we have gone from 500 years, (for an old stone-built bridge); to 170 plus years; to 100 plus years - for the life span of a bridge. To... what? 50 years? If we are lucky?

One of the men at the door thought I was taking pictures of them, but I explained it was just the pub I wanted being the celebration it was!
