Where is this?

[Tiny Turnip]

The plant was for production of Pogy/Pogie oil and fertilizer.

And what an astonishing coastline Florida has!

FBI: Hoyt, Tiny & Angel

Found it! Fernandina Beach, N 14th St, Florida. That's on the SW side of Fort Clinch Stae Park.

Look HERE. And here a shot including the plant. The chimney is here in the middle (see the shadow).

Hoyt, you did the 'Fernandina Beach' legwork! Your turn.

Thanks Crag, it was a nice one!

Cheers!

Oops....!! I didn't look at page 250 before posting and missed Tiny's posts. Sorry....!!

Well, everyone got the links now to look it up easy. Hoyt & Tiny, toss a coin for the next turn

Cheers!

Well done, it's Egans's Creek at the north end of Amelia Island, on which you'll find the town of Fernandina Beach.

If you look south you see this huge papermill that stinks as much as the Pogie plant every did. But around about is an old Spanish settlement, Fort Clinch as well as the town itself which was the terminus for the first railroad in Florida. It's also an island that has been 'ruled' by nine different flags over the years.

The south of the island has had the usual Florida coastal ruin, falling victim to golf courses, gated communities and Ritz Carlton hotels. But the north end has ironically been protected from this by the smelly industries and as a result, waterfront properties have remained (just about) affordable for the marine industry. But for how long?

the boat is built from aluminum and looks to be about 55 - 57ft LOA and perhaps a motor sailor quite on the heavy side of displacement. Hull construction is radius chine, poorly executed especially forward of the keel to bow with segments much to wide and the upper tangent joint to the hull side plate not evenly fair. Same goes for the starboard lower rub rail with a "bump" about midships...
The bowsprit seems to be canting slightly to SB but perhaps it is the angle of the lens - otherwise a fair attempt by the amateur who had built it. Pity the bulwark is a plain round bar on plate affair that spoils the sheer instead of a box section that could be capped in wood. That shouts self built

****, am I ranting again, sorry folks, I thought I was retired but couldn't stop myself

[hoytedow]

Tiny got the right street-much more accurate and precise. Go, Tiny!

[Tiny Turnip]

Thanks Hoyt. You definitely got the key to it by deciphering the boat name.

Thanks for a great puzzle too, Crag. You're another one who get's about a bit! Makes me feel very sheltered.

Anyway, here's one to play with.

Vieuw at Marazion from St Michael's Mount.

If I remember well . . . .

Well done Angel! You've got a good memory! I liked the idea of the view *from* a famous landmark, rather than *of*. I was going to post a view just of st. Michael's Mount harbour, without the fortification in the foreground, but I thought it would be a bit hard...

My Mum, who is now 88, tells a lovely story of being taken out in a rowing boat by two local lads, for a trip round the Mount, when she was about 14. As they rounded the Mount, they saw a large, pointed dorsal fin sticking out of the water, close to the boat. The two lads yelled 'shark!' and grabbed the fin, and hauled a sunfish into the boat, which my Mum describes as being about 4 feet long!

It was indeed the cannon and the fortification that triggered my memory as there are a lot of cannons there. But a pic with just a view just of the Mount's harbour towards Marazion could have triggered my memory as well as it would have probably showed the very tipical causeway (submerged or dry) to this tidal island.

Nice story about your Mum....!!

Here's a new one, but I'm going out till mid next week and won't be able to respond, so I took a very tipical view that is passed by many and it comes with a clue already. What you see is the Atlantic. Question, where are the buildings built for and where is it?

Feel free to ignore or to leave this quest as I won't be able to give clues. In that case we pick it up later, that is if I ever win another one!

The avatar change is because it fits my roots better.

Good luck....!!

Cheers!
Angel

PS
- Is there somebody who ‘just know’ the place . . . . ? ?
- If not, Do it Together, So discuss what You see, Your view and what You know might give New Clues to Your Peers . . . . ! ! !
- Anyway, you have till next wensday.

Hi All,

There are many of these buildings there.

1) the two buildings we're looking for are in the background.
2) here in the foreground.
3) a Google Maps shot of the place.

Tiny, if you know something, please give clues! ¿Guillermo, are you back? Raggi, you did the one with only the Madeira tunnel pic, so this should be easy! Teddy, where are you? And of course the other regulars (including all the former), I count on You....!!

As for the tractor avatar, when I looked at it after coming back I realized that it was about my roots but not a lot about my interests, so I've chosen a new one which is closer to the latter. But, if your in doubt that there are tractor girls you should have a look at Manon Ossevoort. [BBC]

I think it's "clue time".

The sea crashing into that coast is the North Atlantic.

1) Tonight a BIG clue, and a clue in a question....!!

2) Yes!

Cheers!

Tonight a BIG clue, and a clue in a question....!!

OK, here it is....!! The BIG clue is in the cover of the first book.

The clue in a question; how did Francis Poldark died and what did he found when he died . . . . ? ?

Good luck!

Hi everybody!
I'm not active in these forums lately, due to some personal situations and also because some tiredness. But I'm checking this thread from time to time, one of the more pleasant ones. Give me some time and I will come back in full force again.
Warmest regards to all of you, my friends.
