It's Maritime Heritage Week. Sharing very large files online? DroneLabs is the easiest way to manage, send & share very large images with your visitors.
Reluctant to post this, because twitter appears to have turned in to a real time Elon feed, but I'm just testing something...

Twitter's plug in seems to stop working if you don't post very often, so here's a dataset uploaded by the submerged resource specialists at the @NatlParkService This is the wreck site of the SS Monarch, which ran aground in the Great Lakes in 1906...

DroneLab is back up & running again after a temporary glitch this morning. Here's a fairly recent NASA image. I like to use these for testing. This is a panorama of the Gediz Vallis Ridge, on Mars, from the Curiosity rover.

Very interesting blog post about the damage that gets done to shipwrecks (and aircraft wrecks) over on the Deep3D blog. Here's one of the datasets - you can see fishing gear tangled around the remains of this aircraft... https://t.co/F9mW6M0Cb1 Link in the blog post.
These were quite popular last week, so let's continue the theme with some more highlights from the Armstrong Collection. These two were built in 1920 for the Imperial Chinese Maritime Customs. Click link to embiggen...

Here's the first plan in the collection, the first ship built at the Low Walker Yard. Completed in 1853, she served as a cargo ship in Australia for almost fifty years before being converted into a hulk in 1900, and then finally broken up in 1911.
