The concrete ship at sunset beach with Cape May Lewes Ferry in the background.

Atlantus, the concrete ship: in 1917, the United States joined World War I. Ships were quickly needed to transport soldiers and supplies to Europe. As an alternative to using steel, several ocean-going ships were made of reinforced concrete. They worked, but evidently were too slow to be economical, and were not used for very long after the war ended. In 1926, the boat got stuck on a sand bar near its final destination, and there it remains, to this day.

Took my bike for a ride to Cape May, NJ last Saturday. It was a picture perfect day with mid 70 temperatures low humidity and a nice breeze. Cape May is located at the southern tip of a peninsula with the Atlantic Ocean on the east and Delaware Bay on the West. Downtown has Victorian mansions and a large beachfront and the surrounding area is an eco-tourist’s delight.
Cape May is a major flyway for migrating birds and butterflies. It has a diverse ecosystem of ocean, bays, salt water marshes, and forests of holly and cedar trees. With over 400 bird species having been recorded in this area and hundreds of local birders, Cape May is arguably the top bird-watching area in the entire Northeastern United States

Well, I shouldn't babble about them all, though I really could. The concrete boat one is wonderful - love the contrast with the ship in the distance. I love #11 - what an expression! And your bike? Rocks.
