IN THE WAKE OF NOAH'S ARK

Our  Shipping Reporter  measures  the  cubits  of   wooden vessels ; captures Joshua's  washing   flapping  in  the  breeze .

In his relentless search for nautical stories  and  miscellaneous  items connected with the sea ,   our waterfront  roundsman , the only one north of  Hobart , came across this  group of  framed  posters in the Townsville area  for the  Australian Wooden Boat Festivals held in Tasmania  . From the left , they are for the years  2001, 2003  and  2005 .
One of  his  more unusual  photographs  from  the  waterfront beat  is  this shot  of washing  hanging on  the romantic  looking  vessel  The  Joshua  C (for Christ )  moored   at  Magnetic Island .
