wlaidlaw Posted February 15, 2018 Share #2525 Posted February 15, 2018 Technically it might be argued that this is a structure rather than a building but rather large, interesting historically and I believe now unique. Taken a few weeks ago with CL and 18-56. Wilson Welcome, dear visitor! As registered member you'd see an image here… Simply register for free here – We are always happy to welcome new members!

Michael Geschlecht Posted March 7, 2018 Share #2531 Posted March 7, 2018 (edited) Bump - think of ships Wilson Hello Wilson, I have been thinking of ships, but, so far, nobody has written anything new. By the way, as per the questions asked above: Does this have anything to do with "sluices" or is it something "that controls water levels"? Best Regards, Michael Edited March 7, 2018 by Michael Geschlecht Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
wlaidlaw Posted March 7, 2018 Share #2532 Posted March 7, 2018 I think it may be time to give up and get someone else to post a new picture. The mystery building is part of the historic Blackwood's Screw Dock in Barbados. This is a ship lifting device, used as an alternative to a dry dock or slip. Amazingly it was still in very occasional operation up until the mid 1980's, although in a state of considerable dilapidation by that time. I went down to try and see it working during a trip to Barbados in the 1970's but after waiting around for over three hours, still nothing had happened, other than large amounts of rum being drunk, so I gave up and left. Sadly there is just not the government money in Barbados available for restoration of this great piece of Victorian engineering. Originally powered by a 100HP steam engine, it was converted to electric in the late 1930s'. I was told by the father of my brother in law, that the lights all over the island would go dim, when they started the very large electric motor. It was very active during the war years, repairing smaller naval vessels, minesweepers etc. Wilson Welcome, dear visitor!

wlaidlaw Posted March 9, 2018 Share #2536 Posted March 9, 2018 A bit puzzled by this one. The guard looks like he is wearing a Kepi, which points to France but that isn't the Elysée Palace. I wonder if it might be the Presidential Palace in Rome. Wilson Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
adan Posted March 10, 2018 Share #2537 Posted March 10, 2018 I don't think that is a kepi - looks more like a fur fez or tarboosh, which might indicate a Balkan location? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

AZach Posted March 10, 2018 Share #2540 Posted March 10, 2018 #2539 is Moscow University, but the previous one is still open, so - not Presidential, not in Rome, Moscow or Balkans - there is an important connection to France but the hat style is less important Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
