I was looking out over Casco Bay this afternoon. while sitting in the Liberty Ship Memorial at Bug Light Park in South Portland, Maine. The memorial is a partial skeleton of a life size Liberty Ship. This museum is a great reminder of how people pulled together during World War II to protect and defend this country and its allies.
The park is a great place to watch the marine activities going on in Portland Harbor and Casco Bay.
274 Liberty ships and Ocean ships were built on the site during World War II. These vessels played an important role carrying supplies across the Atlantic during the war.
Every time I visit the park, I see several old timers that must drop by every day to see their old friends that worked together with them building Liberty Ships.
With the historical thoughts of Clipper Ships and Liberty Ships I sandwiched two filtered images together that I took today.

Nice touch with the photos, framed up nice too. You picked a good time to visit that location. For the most part a wonderful day with the weather.
