RUBY TUESDAY
This is a ship's bollards. In fact this one in particular is on the old refurbished barge that is now a restaurant at the city's marina. Found on the deck of the bow near the outdoor dining area. You can also see the line that juts out and off the ship's deck, reaching to the shoreline where it's tied-up permanently.BOLLARD
A strong vertical post of timber or iron, fixed to the ground and/or on the deck of a ship, to which the ship's mooring lines are secured

Good Morning Sweet Annie...
ReplyDeleteHere is a cup of happiness for you for the day, with a spoon full of lovin to stir it with. Don't you just love Witch Hazel? Until you showed her, I had forgotten about her. She was so fun to watch.
As always you have posted a lovely post. You taught me about a ship's bollards which I did not know. I always learn something new here each and every day.
Have a beautiful day my sweet friend. Please know that you are so loved. Country hugs and much love...Sherry
Oh dear. I guess I'd have to turn down an invitation to tea here. That's the 2nd time today.
ReplyDeleteSeriously, that was a fun post. Thanks for sharing it.
