    "Anchor seems to be holding!"
    This new ship here is fitted according to the reported increase of knowledge among mankind. Namely, she is cumbered end to end with bells and trumpets and clocks and wires. It has been told to me she can call voices out of the air or the waters to con the ship while her crew sleep. But sleep though lightly. It has not yet been told to me that the sea has ceased to be the sea.--Rudyard Kipling

    Obviously, a "photoship" job. Not all that far fetched, though. This one actually happened just off Alcatraz Island in SF Bay. Salvaged by a buddy of mine, Tim Parker, of Parker Diving Services.

    Due to recent budget cuts, the Coast Guard is experimenting with cheaper, alternative methods to replacing aging lights on America's waterways.
