Lift Dock Reflections

Mystic Seaport, Mystic CT

Reflected in this photo is  the Hays and Ros Clark Shiplift, completed in mid-2007.  It consists of 8 hoisting winches and has a total lifting capacity of 580 long tons which is more than adequate to lift any of the historic ships in the Seaport's collection out of the water.  Once the ships are lifted out, they can moved ashore on a system of rails to allow long term projects of maintenance and restoration.  I'm sharing this with Weekend Reflections .  Enjoy your weekend and thanks for looking.

  1. The water is so still and therefore gives you a fantastic reflection of the structure. Have a lovely weekend.
