Monroe Harbor – Lakefront
Chicago, Illinois (Loop/Downtown)
This boat, although I guess it’s a ship when they get to this size, is anchored in place and is used by the Columbia Yacht Club, a group of people who have a lot more money than I do.
The photo was taken with a Pentax Super Program camera and a Makinon 24mm f:2.8 lens. The film was Fujichrome 100 color slide film. The shutter was set to automatic and the lens to f:16.
Editing was done using ACDSee Ultimate 2020. I created a duplicate layer and used the SmartErase tool to get rid of some dust sots on the image. Then I adjusted the lighting and increased the contrast, clarity, vibrance and sharpness. Then I reduced the noise a bit.

Wow this is beautiful, never been on one before.
I’d love to just be able to look around the thing. I’ve been on a couple of large sailboats including one of the tall ships but even those were quite a bit smaller than this.
This is ship or boat ?………..
I guess it’s big enough to qualify as a ship.
