Screenshot of text: Merchant Seafairer War Memorial A memorial sculpture dedicated to the merchant seamen of Cardiff Bay combines a beached hull of a ship and a timeless face. The surrounding mosaic carries inscriptions and portraits of local wartime seafarers.

Final one: a sculpture at Cardiff Bay as a memorial to Merchant Seamen and the industrial heritage of South Wales — made of iron, from one angle, a face; from a different angle, the hull of a boat.

#sundaypixboat this was in the window of the health centre on scilly as we spent a morning there during last year's holiday (wouldn't last 10 minutes in our doctors at home)
A long low motorboat is overtaking a smaller boat with a triangular red sail. Behind them is a sliver of white beach then low green vegetation on an almost flat island, barely above sea level. A pale blue sky is dotted with tiny clouds.
A traditional boat with upturned prow is more on the sea shore. It is orange, and carrying blue boxes. Bring are a large boathouse and smaller buildings.
Four completely different small boats on the sea, close to the shore. Most are traditional, at least one is a motor boat. The sea is bright turquoise, the horizon a sliver of dark blue, then pale blue sky.
A large and handsome traditional boat by the shoreline. It is dark green with a red edge to the rail and a red & green roof.

More boats from The Maldives 🇲🇻 (there are many there, as one might expect!)
Statues of a mother and two children waving at an actual yacht out on the ocean. It's in Fleetwood.
Two boats with masts are one behind the other on a turquoise ocean with blue sky above.
View from the prow of a blue and white boat with another boat a few hundred yards ahead, on a calm blue sea.

Another magical trip: a week on this boat over New Year, a few years ago in The Maldives 🇲🇻 Saw the New Year in, swimming in the light from the boats, then back on board for champagne 🥂 🍾 🥳
Its (larger) partner boat is just behind in the first pic, and ahead of us in the second.
It’s a blue boat. On dry land. With plants in pots surrounding it. Named ‘Teacup’. It’s a cafe
Ok, a proper one. #SundayPixBoat
This one is a cafe, somewhere in Devon.
Looking upwards at the bridge of a ferry. There's a gull in flight, the sky is a beautiful shade of blue, with faint clouds.

Here's the Charles W. Heald ferry on a trip in the Gulf of Mexico, Galveston region.
The pilot station on the Mersey, a building on the edge of a jetty with a small boat tied up beside it, the setting sun overhead across the river

A boat with distressed paintwork, by an island in the Inner Hebrides
A small rowboat in the harbour at Malé, capital of the Maldives. It has hardly any sides, with just the bare wooden slats of deck barely above the water.
An upturned blue boat with a red stripe sits by a corrugated metal building on an island in the Maldives 🇲🇻 The paint is worn away and flaking.
The prow of a large wooden boat, which has been dumped and left on the shore of the Nile in Egypt 🇪🇬 The wooden mast is still standing, but any paintwork is long gone from the weather.
#SundayPixBoat
I do like a rotting or dishevelled boat — they have such mystery and so many secrets!
A large reservoir with two small boats with white sails on the water beneath a blue sky with a patch of cloud

Sorry, #SundayPixBoat (there were three of them mind)
A group of small boats anchored in open water. They are surrounded by bright yellow and orange buoys.

Egypt 🇪🇬 I had a wonderful 3 days on a felucca on the Nile with absolutely no facilities—it was great! Could actually touch the water as we sailed.
First pic is for Wombat, because I know he likes it.
Second is of our two feluccas moored for the night. Mats on the deck for sleeping.
An old-fashioned boat with a cabin is floating by a shoreline of trees, with cloudy sky above. All are reflected in the calm river.
In the foreground is a sandy beach, then a deep turquoise ocean with lines of white surf parallel to the beach. Above is blue sky. In the centre of the sea is a distant boat with fishermen.
#SundayPixBoat
More from Gambia 🇬🇲
A slightly bigger boat on the river with a cabin — I could have stayed there instead of on shore, but it was mosquito season, so decided against it.
Away from the river, the Atlantic shore! Look closely and you’ll spot a small boat with fishermen.
A small blue and white motor boat with awning is moored on the bank of a wide river. Small mangrove trees are either side of it. The far shore is lined green with trees. The sky above is scattered with clouds.
Two men are sitting in plastic garden deck chairs at front of a boat. The man at the prow is looking back to the camera and smiling — he was our guide on the trip, and the other man a fellow passenger. The boat is on an incredibly wide but calm river. The chairs were not fixed to the deck, and health & safety consisted of a life jacket under each chair 😆
At the back of our boat was the boatman. He is sitting and smiling alongside the boat’s motor, which he controls, and he is surrounded by cans of fuel 😆 Again, the river is incredibly wide, so only one shore can be seen in the distance.
Another view of the boat, moored for the evening at a small wooden dock with red metal guardrail. The boat is striped blue and white, with a green awning trimmed in white. In the distance is the other shore of the river.
#SundayPixBoat
This was a great trip: a week on this boat travelling up the River Gambia 🇬🇲 stopping at different locations, and staying overnight each night at increasingly rough accommodation 😆

Wrong tag need an edit button 😩
In the foreground is the prow of a small blue boat. A harbour inlet has more of them. Behind is a wall and a square defensive fortification against a clear blue sky.
Dozens of small blue fishing boats are jammed tightly into a harbour, nose to nose, nested into each other. Behind them is a larger fishing vessel.
A man stands on the harbour. We see him from the back as he looks across the fishing boats in the harbour — they are mostly small and blue rowing boats, like most of the boats there. Slightly bigger blue boats with masts are in the background.

A (presumably replica) ancient galleon at Piraeus, the port of Athens.
And a pelican plus boats on one of the Greek islands.
Tilt-shift pic of a small motor boat in Swansea Marina with other small boats behind it. It is white, with a cabin, and the tilt-shift effect makes it look like a model boat. In the background are trees and buildings on the marina dockside.
#SundayPixBoat
Boats are a great subject for tilt-shift, aren’t they 😁 🚤
A steel sculpture of the skeleton of a Viking boat sits on a paved circle. The sea is behind with hills in the distance and a gloomy sky
