Museum Photo of the Week:
Independence Seaport Museum


Photograph by ‘Squared’ (aka eismcsquare)

‘Squared’ has posted another beautiful photo of the Independence Seaport Museum, to the Museum Photos for Mode group. I am particularly fond of the description:

‘Another light and shadow moment. As if these ships are resting in harbor at the end of a long, difficult journey.

In a way, its true. They are now retired, and parked in a museum.

Taken at Independent Seaport Museum, Philadelphia. The one on the right is Olypia - Spanish-American War flagship. Its the oldest steel warship afloat in the world. She was launched in San Francisco, California in 1892. Decommissioned in 1922’.
