Doesn't look too old but then what do I know. Excellent image and finish to the challenge. Thanks so much for all your images!

LOL, nice interpretation Walter! I think that boat in the picture is slightly bigger than the fishing smack Ernest Hemingway was writing about :o))) Beautifully shot sir, and perfect for the film!

at first I thought it might be The Seven Year Itch...strong comp and a sympathetic looking character...V

Wow ... indeed, and such a wonderful image, maybe he was crew on it a long time ago ! Or simply passing through, between here and there ... Well seen Walter.

Joli thème. Sans barrière il ferait moins le marlin... bv Captain WOK!

Nicely framed Walter. It makes one want to board this old carrier to see all of the aircraft and equipment. V
