The Swell, one of British Columbia's most historic ships, was purpose built in Vancouver BC Canada for the Victoria Tug Company, incorporated by George McGregor and Capt. Dan McPherson in August 1912. The Swell was their new, coal-fired steam tug. The year 1912 was a booming one for the economy of the new Canadian settlements on the coast. Victoria, the oldest city, had been around in one form or another since the 1840s. Victoria Tug Company had eight tugs working full time back in the early 1900's, Swell is the only one still in use. In 1954, Swell’s power was converted to a 400 horsepower diesel engine. In later years Swell has become an expedition ship and underwent a 3.5 million dollar refit in 2004, it now accommodates 12 guest's in six comfortable deluxe suites and does a variety of cruises in the inside passage, the longest is a cruise of eight nights/nine days. The 'super tug' is moored at a public marina in Ladysmith BC Canada, a fitting town with it's history as well.

There is one thing the photograph must contain, the humanity of the moment.
We are making photographs to understand what our lives mean to us.
The best thing about a picture is that it never changes, even when the people in it do.
The camera is an instrument that teaches people how to see without a camera.
I really believe there are things nobody would see if I didn’t photograph them.
The Hofvijver (English: Court Pond) is a pond in the centre of The Hague.
The pond has its origin in a natural dunelake fed by the Haagse Beek (Hague Creek) and the, nowadays muted, Bosbeek (Forestcreek) from the Haagse Bos (Hague Forest). The Haagse Beek still feeds the Hofvijver and so the pond is directly connected to the dunes in Kijkduin.
Located around the Hofvijver are several museums, like the Mauritshuis, the Gevangenpoort (Prison Gate), the Hague Historical Museum and the Gallery Prince William V.
