Hi Neil,
Your site is more fantastic each day with all the changes you are making. My major complaint is that as I look at each ship and follow their itineraries I become more and more tempted to pick up the phone and book ten cruises. The Crabby Old Guy and his wallet are not that thrilled LOL. Keep up the good work and please continue to give all the cruisers a place to dream.
Stay Savvy!
Hugs,

Thankyou for being my friend,

Hello From Norway and Lofoten. I like your idea but there is a ship called "Lofoten" which is the same name as our fantastic region in Norway. When we search and want to see slidesshow from Lofoten we end up with lots of meaningless pictures taken from the ship "Lofoten". Could you please remove som of these which you cannot be very proud of.
WElcome to Lofoten!
Hi Per. I understand what you're saying. When you do a search on Flickr for Lofoten, you're seeing a lot of ShipWacher photos, and you're interested in the town, not the ship.
There's an easy way to ignore Shipwatcher photos.
In Flickr if you're searching "Full Text" try this search:
Lofoten -ShipWatcher
(i.e. put the word "ShipWatcher" with a "-" at the start of it as one of the search terms).
If you're searching by "Tags" try this search:
Lofoten -HurtigrutenAsa
Hope this helps!
YOUR ANOYING MAN, I CANT FIND THE PHOTOS I WANT, BECAUSE MY SEARCH IS FILLED WITH YOUR GARBAGE.
YOU SHOULD BE BANNED
Dear Anonymous.
You might like to read the post immediately preceding yours. It explains how to filter out my photos.
I'm not sure if you're aware of this, but the caps lock button is that funny square thing in the middle on the left of your keyboard.
Kind regards
Neil

Dear Neil
Great site thank you for dreams and watching the world move
willthey ever have streaming cams
love dawn
Dawn, thanks for the comments. I hope we get streaming webcams too, but I doubt it. It's a matter of bandwidth. All the webcam photos from ships need to be transmitted via satellite. I don't think a satellite connection would be ale to efficiently handle a video stream. But we can hope!
ST. LAWRENCE SEAWAY'S 50th ANNIVERSARY INSPIRES NEW BOOK ABOUT PROJECT'S DEDICATED WORKFORCE:
"The St. Lawrence Seaway and Power Project: An Oral History of the Greatest Construction Show on Earth" Now On Sale
ALBANY, NY (June 12, 2009) — The culmination of a century-long dream to link the Great Lakes interior industrial hubs to the Atlantic Ocean, the St. Lawrence Seaway and Power Project stands as one of the largest and most important public works initiatives of the 20th century.
Between 1954-1959, the billion-dollar St. Lawrence Seaway and Power Project was the largest waterway and hydro dam project ever jointly built by two nations. It comprised seven locks, the widening of various canals, the taming of rapids, and the erection of the 3,216-foot long, 195.5-foot high Robert Moses-Robert H. Saunders Power Dam. Through the decades the Seaway has seen the transport of 2.5 billion tons of cargo (equivalent to 87 million truckloads) valued in excess of $375 billion. It also produces hydroelectric power for both countries.
Now, as officials prepare to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the 265-mile-long waterway that separates America from Canada this July, a new book reveals the human side of the project in the words of 53 engineers, carpenters, laborers and their wives.
In The St. Lawrence Seaway and Power Project: An Oral History of the Greatest Construction Show on Earth (ISBN: 978-0-8156-0913-1, $34.95; 328 pages; Syracuse University Press), Claire Puccia Parham exposes the dangerous and brutal working conditions, the larger-than-life equipment, and the construction dilemmas encountered.
"Up until now very little has been written about this phenomenal feat of engineering," said Puccia Parham, who will give the keynote presentation at the Saint Lawrence Seaway Development Corporation's 50th Anniversary Celebrations July 9 in Massena, N.Y.
"Fifty years have passed since the Queen Elizabeth II dedicated this project on June 26, 1959," continued Puccia Parham, a history instructor at Siena College in Loudonville, NY. "However, workers in both countries remain passionate about their achievement. This book is a fitting tribute to the hard work and dedication of the project's 22,000 workers."
