It was pretty cool to see this sea and seagull fighting for the fish that the fishermen had just thrown overboard at the Fish Pier In Chatham. They both came at the same time and were determined to get that fish!
I wonder who won? It almost looks like the seagull is taking it right out of the seal’s mouth! It was a lot of fun to watch…
The flag was blowing at Chatham Lighthouse the other day. And the sky was blue, blue, blue! What a beautiful day to photograph Chatham Light.
Chatham Light signals boats off of Chatham and Chatham Bar. The building to the right is the Coast Guard Station will go to action when boats are in distress. This is the station that was featured in the Disney movie, The Finest Hours, which is about the the most daring rescue mission in the history of the Coast Guard.
Nauset Light and the CG Station are a must to see if you are ever on Cape Cod. The views are spectacular!
And if you haven’t seen The Finest Hours, make sure you see it too. The story is unbelievable!
It was fun to watch the seals at the Chatham Fish Pier on Cape Cod. They were stalking the fishing boats that had just come in, waiting for the crew to throw some of the fish overboard.
This first photograph is of this seal just lazing around on his back, having a grand old time. The second photograph is of the seals and the seagulls fighting to get those fish that the fishermen had just thrown overboard. It was like a fishing frenzy!
The Disney blockbuster movie, The Finest Hours, will hit movie theaters on January 29, 2016. It is a true story of of the US Coast Guard’s most daring rescue off of Chatham on Cape Cod.
The CG36500, which was built in 1946, was decommissioned in 1968 and eventually fell into disrepair. The Orleans Historical Society acquired ownership and restored the vessel.
The CG36500 is docked at Rock Harbor in Orleans during the summer months and is operated as a “floating museum,” open to visitors.
The book was awesome, so check out the movie! I am so looking forward to seeing this daring rescue.
