  • HMS Ocean of the Royal Navy edges upstream on the River Thames towards Greenwich ahead of a major security exercise in preparation for the 2012 Olympic Games. Ocean is an amphibious assault ship (or landing platform helicopter), the sole member of her class and the Royal Navy's largest ship, here to act as a launch pad for eight army Lynx helicopters and a base for Royal Marine snipers, able to shoot at the engines of fast-moving targets. It is the final phase of the exercise named Olympic Guardian, which began on the coast and in the airspace over the capital. During the Olympics, Ocean will be moored in Greenwich to provide logistics support, accommodation to 9 Assault Squadron Royal Marines and a helicopter landing site. The 203.4m (667 ft) long, 21,500 tonnes Ocean was constructed in the mid 90s at a cost of £234 million.

  • The Hamburg-registered Mol Caledon ship passes the giant dredging machinery at npower's Tilbury power station on the  River Thames northern shore, Essex England. Having just departed from Tilbury Docks with the evening sun glinting off the stern's reflective surfaces, stacks of tall containers are heaped high but evenly spread for stability along the massive vessel. They head out towards open sea, navigating through deeper water channels that naturally get shallower as silt chokes the waterways. Historically, the Thames has long been a route for shipping that kept the capital supplied and although the docks have seen huge decreases in traffic and volume since the second world war, Tilbury remains a busy hub for containerized vessels arrivng from all over the world.

  • Half-way across the Gulf of Mexico, between Miami and Cancun in Mexico, Carnival Cruise's Fun Ship Ecstasy's passengers are on the Sun deck to enjoy the first few days sailing on the tropical seas. One of the ship's photographers has passed around a ship's circular life ring buoy through which one busty blonde lady has posed for a photograph and is about to pass it on to her nearest neighbour. She is wearing a garish pink and yellow bikini and is holding the life-saving device so that only her breasts are showing, obscuring her face. We see the name of the ship, Ecstasy, around the ring and the plastic ropes are falling on the lady's cleavage, forming circles around her bosoms. In the background, another cruise traveller (traveler) wears a straw sun hat and is also sitting on a blue sun lounger. We see exposed, tanned skin and it looks baking hot with the tropical sun at its zenith, directly overhead at mid-day. Carnival was a pioneer in the concept of cheaper and shorter cruises. Its ships are known for their Las Vegas decor and entertainment. The line calls its ships The Fun Ships. The MS Ecstasy is a Fantasy class cruise ship featuring two pools, whirlpools, a variety of dining options, nightclubs, a casino, and duty-free shopping. After Hurricane Katrina, she spent six months in New Orleans serving as quarters for refugees and relief workers. She suffered heavy damage in 1998 after the laundry room in the ship's stern caught fire damaging much of her stern and aft section.

  • As winter fog lifts, the waters of the River Thames clear to reveal an eerie landscape of industrial river life and architecture at Gravesend, Kent England. It is late-morning and in the hazy distance on the northern river bank, steam clouds near the double twin chimneys of npower's 1400MW coal fired Tilbury power station (powering 1.4 million homes using ‘biomass’ fuels and low-sulphur coal) which rise above the passing ghostly bulk of a cargo freighter on its last miles of its voyage from open sea into the Thames Estuary and on to Tilbury Docks. Historically, the Thames has long been a route for shipping that kept the capital supplied and although the docks have seen huge decreases in traffic and volume since the second world war, Tilbury remains a busy hub for containerized vessels arrivng from all over the world.

  • With a confusing perspective and scale, a tourist sightseeing bus passes artist Yinka Shonibare's artwork called Nelson's Ship in a Bottle on the Fourth Plinth in London's in Trafalgar Square. The artwork features a 1:29 scale replica of Lord Nelson's original HMS Victory commemorating the Battle of Trafalgar in 1805, Shonibare said his version with its textile sails with African and batik prints reflects the multicultural and diverse capital. The 2.35m high ship inside a specially-made glass bottle, will be in place for 18 months. 37 large sails are made of patterns which are commonly associated with African dress and culture. The patterns also look back at the path of colonialism as the patterns were inspired by Indonesian batik design, which were mass produced by the Dutch and sold to the colonies in West Africa.
