Life Aboard The CCGS Griffon

shaggy · 11-29-2008, 10:38 AM

well i am not one to tell the story about life aboard this fine ship i do have a wack of pics of it and its life on the great lakes. I will post up pics in this thread with what i think they are or is happening and i am sure Old Sailor will offer his corrections and thoughts.

First lets get to know the old girl a little bit

i am guessing that most ships have this plaque on them somewhere...

a pretty sight at night

another night view

a view of the main structure (i have no idea of the real name) which houses everything for the crew

the deck or work area

shaggy · 11-29-2008, 10:47 AM

walkway at night

next some daylight pics

one of the above walkways in the daytime

the wheelhouse (or whatever it is really called)

looking forward at the crane

daves hiding place? you will notice to the left i think that is prolly a 20-30 foot boat on the boat.....just to give you a bit of a scope of the size of this ship
