One of the cool things about being in Port Jefferson is that the huge passenger and car ferries come and go all day long. This is the Grand Republic, and the front is open because cars were still boarding. I can't explain this exactly, but I went to take a snapshot of the ship, and when it was framed in the viewfinder, I was struck by how this hardly looks like a ship. Something about the shape and design reminded me of the stylized Art Deco posters of ocean liners made in the 1930's.
