Indonesian sailing ship in Singapore harbour.  These ships have no engines, they either sail into the harbour or use a dingy to drop anchors ahead of the ship and then winch up to the anchor, then drop another anchor and winch up to it.



Carrier Enterprise in the early 80s in Singapore harbour.



USS Independence, nuclear powered, a big boat.  On leave in Singapore harbour.






I doubt if they will let you get this close now.  It was a Sunday afternoon in the hot season, I rented a boat and took my parents for a ride in Singapore harbour.










An escort ship for the Independece.  The attack submarine was part of the carrier group.  This ship was fore and aft moored to prevent it from turning with the tide and making the submarine visible to the shore.



Sailing in the waters between Norway and Denmark.  Yes, that is a big wave behind Tom!
