We usually see ships in port, but this time I am showing you a couple of them on the roadstead, in the waters in front of Antignano. The 159-meter “Anne-Sofie” is classifieed as a heavy lift ship. She was built in 2008 and sails under the flag of Antigua.
The 137-meter “Sakala” is a heavy load carrier. She was built in 1995 and sails under the British flag.See also: Crane Carrier

Wonderful proof of the achievement of the ability to think and create. Impressive engineering. Please have a good Wednesday.
I like the colors on the Sakala and the simple expanse of the castle with its regular windows.
Interesting ships designed to carry huge loads. Thanks for the post.
Sure sounds very Swedish.
Just love the ship images. It's amazing, isn't it, to see what humans have built.
Never seen ships configured like this.
That last picture is rather architectural. I don't get to see ships as such here in my small town.
Can't miss that red one if it were coming at you.
I learned something new today. I had to look up the word "roadstead."
Huge ships and you got great pictures, the color of the water is also beautiful!I also like the ship names!

I've never seen such ships. Awesome!
And your photos with them all alone in that lively water are very special.
I had to look up roadstead, too.
You are so lucky to live near water.
I"m afraid the Sakala wins my heart with the ROUGE! :)

A pair of hard workers here VP, so very different in colouring but I'm guessing not so different in work!
When I see those ships I always ask myself, how they can swim.... haha... man of mountains...
Great shots, VP!
They look so fragile to me, ready to turn upside-down!
