Specific picture descriptions: Photos above with "i" icons next to the bracketed sequence numbers (e.g. "[1] ") are described as follows:
1. IWVC_120806_005.JPG: The propeller is from the towboat Indiana and is 87 inches in diameter and weighs 4700 pounds. The Indiana was built in 1930 by Charles Ward Engineering. She was 191 feet long, 40.6 feet wide and had a draft of 8 feet. Her turbine electric drives were rated at 2,000 HP. Her two water tube boilers were fueled by oil. The propeller was donated by American Commercial Barge Lines in 1995.
2. IWVC_120806_013.JPG: Pilothouse of the M/V John M. Warner. Originally christened the Jean Marie in 1943, the Warner was one of the first vessels to be customized with the special retractable pilothouse that allowed her to pass under low bridges in the Chicago area. The John M. Warner ran on the Illinois Waterway until December 1982 when she sank during a flood.

Bigger photos? To save server space, the full-sized versions of these images have either not been loaded to the server or have been removed from the server. (Only some pages are loaded with full-sized images and those usually get removed after three months.) I still have them though. If you want me to email them to you, please send an email to guthrie.bruce@gmail.com and I can email them to you, or, depending on the number of images, just repost the page again will the full-sized images.

2012 photos: Trips this year: three Civil War Trust conferences (Shepherdstown, WV, Richmond, VA, and Williamsburg, VA), a week-long family reunion cruise of the Caribbean, another week-long family reunion in the Wisconsin Dells (with lots of in-transit time in Ohio and Indiana), and my 7th consecutive San Diego Comic-Con trip (including side trips to Zion, Bryce, the Grand Canyon, etc). Ego strokes: I had a picture of Miss DC, Ashley Boalch, published in the Washington Post. I had a photograph of the George Segal San Francisco Holocaust memorial used as the cover of Quebec Francais (issue 165). Not being able to read French, I'm not entirely sure what the article is about but, hey! And I guess what could be considered to be a positive thing, my site is now established enough that spammers have noticed it and I had to block 17,000 file description postings for Viagra and whatever else.. Equipment this year: My mainstays were the Fuji S100fs, Nikon D7000, and the new Fuji X-S1. I also used an underwater Fuji XP50 and a Nikon D600. The first three cameras all broke this year and had to be repaired. Number of photos taken this year: just below 410,000.
