Silverburn barge

Limited online information about this floating thing.
You might notice that there is a banner advertising Derya Grup. That's a Turkish conglomerate that handles Volvo, Mazda and construction. This looks kind of like the latter.
Notice also (compared to the previous post) that the color of the water is spotty - in places reverting to its "natural" deep blue.

Sude - S

We were out on the water ourselves this morning, so these shots are from a vantage point right next to the vessel.
Academic Biologists with us on the boat trip say that the unusual color of the water (you noticed?) is due to plankton at this time of year.
The intersection/timing of this shot is such that the background scene includes the Rumeli Hisar castle - the one that the Ottomans used in 1452-3 to capture Constantinople.

Gold Sun

Several other smaller vessels showed up far out in the water - that usually indicates that a larger ship is coming up behind - as true in this case. A collection of images that aim to show this...

Chelsea 2

Any ship in the middle of the water-way indicates that there is someone bigger coming up behind.
Chelsea 2 is far out enough in the middle to draw suspicion .... someone else is coming along not too far behind. (that would be Gold Sun,  Sibel J and more ...)
