Today we have the vessel the Zhen Hua 16 transiting through the Cape Fear River. Currently the Cape Fear River is closed to all vessel traffic, and that is necessary to ensure the safety of the public as well as the crew on board the vessel.

STORYLINE
Four huge cargo cranes destined for the docks at the state port in Wilmington, North Carolina arrived at the last leg of their long journey on Saturday as traffic was shut down on the Cape Fear River for their transit.
Coast Guard official, Lt. Adam Schmid, said river traffic was stopped to ensure the safety of the public as well as the crew on board the vessel.
The cranes aboard the 788-foot (240 metre) Zhen Hua 16 left Shanghai, China, on 2 December for a trip around the world. The ship was so large that it couldn't use the Panama Canal and was forced to go around the southern tip of Africa at the Cape of Good Hope on the way to North Carolina.
Once the ship arrived off the Cape Fear River, it didn't start the 26-mile (42 kilometres) trip up the river until weather conditions settled so engineers could board the ship.
Officials said the cranes are the central part of the port's 143 (m) million US dollars expansion of its container terminal and will allow larger ships to call on the port.
The ship is specially designed to carry the cranes almost completely erect.
It draws about 38 feet (13 metres) of water and is 138 feet (46 metres) wide. With the booms of the cranes extended, it is nearly 430 (144 metres) feet wide.

Green Light on the Southern Cross is my pick of music to go with this segment of my fall 2007 tour. As always, the images I use are stock photos which I feel best represent my journey. Delaware is the last of the lower 48 states I wanted to visit. It was getting a little cool at times, and the idea of heading south sounded good.

More information about the video content bellow:
1. The Dutch were the first Europeans to settle in present-day Delaware in the middle region by establishing a trading post at Zwaanendael, near the site of Lewes in 1631. Within a year all the settlers were killed in a dispute with area Native American tribes. In 1638 New Sweden, a Swedish trading post and colony, was established, which lasted for 17 years, until the Dutch came back and reconquered the area. But just 9 years later they were conquered by a fleet of English ships, under the direction of James, Duke of York. Delaware was one of the 13 colonies participating in the American Revolution. On December 7, 1787, Delaware became the first state to ratify the Constitution of the United States, and has since promoted itself as The First State.
2. Delaware is the second-smallest state in the country. It stretches just under 100 miles long, and is only 35 miles at its widest point. With fewer than one million residents and a total area not much larger than Anchorage, Alaska, the state of Delaware is naturally at a bit of a disadvantage when it comes the rest of the country's appreciation for it. Despite being the second-smallest state, Delaware is also the sixth most densely populated state in America.
3. In the 1820s the DuPont family (probably best known as being allied to the General Motors Company during the 1930s) established a gunpowder mill on the banks of Brandywine River in Wilmington. Over time, the family turned into the largest producer of gunpowder in the world. Even now, the family are responsible for 5-10% of the total employment of the population of Delaware.
4. The log cabin originated in Finland. Finnish settlers arrived in Delaware in the mid-1600s and brought with them plans for the log cabin, one of the enduring symbols of the American pioneer. One of the cabins has been preserved and is on display at the Delaware Agricultural Museum in Dover.
5. Tradition holds the first time Betsy Ross's famous flag was flown was at the Battle of Cooch's Bridge. This historic site is located on route 4 in Newark.
6. Thomas Garret lost his entire fortune in his battle against slavery. He was sued by a Maryland slave owner and fined for aiding a black family in flight. Over his lifetime, Garrett reportedly helped more than 2,000 fugitive slaves move through Delaware, an important stop on the Underground Railroad.
7. Dover is the capital and second-largest city in the U.S. state of Delaware. It is also the county seat of Kent County. It is located on the St. Jones River in the Delaware River coastal plain. It was named by William Penn of Dover in Kent, England. As of 2010, the city had a population of 36,047.

Driving Downtown - Saranac Lake, New York
Saranac Lake is a village in the state of New York, United States. As of the 2010 census, the population was 5,406.[2] The village is named after Upper, Middle and Lower Saranac lakes, which are nearby.
The village of Saranac Lake covers parts of three towns (Harrietstown, St. Armand, and North Elba) and two counties (Franklin and Essex). The county line is within two blocks of the center of the village. At the 2010 census, 3,897 village residents lived in Harrietstown,[3] 1,367 lived in North Elba,[4] and 142 lived in St. Armand.[5] The village boundaries do not touch the shores of any of the three Saranac Lakes; Lower Saranac Lake, the nearest, is a half mile west of the village. The northern reaches of Lake Flower, which is a wide part of the Saranac River downstream from the three Saranac Lakes, lie within the village. The town of Saranac is an entirely separate entity, 33 miles (53 km) down the Saranac River to the northeast.
The village lies within the boundaries of the Adirondack Park, 9 miles (14 km) west of Lake Placid. These two villages, along with nearby Tupper Lake, comprise what is known as the Tri-Lakes region.
Saranac Lake was named the best small town in New York State and ranked 11th in the United States in The 100 Best Small Towns in America.[6] In 1998, the National Civic League named Saranac Lake an All-America City, and in 2006 the village was named one of the Dozen Distinctive Destinations by the National Trust for Historic Preservation.[7] 186 buildings in the village are listed on the National Register of Historic Places.

Maryland
Did you know... that the only actual wild ponies in the U.S. live in Maryland? ...or that the Maryland Blue Crab is the official State Crustacean? ...and that a Marylander wrote the U.S. national anthem? Get on a guided tour with Ambassador Eacho on Maryland's history and beauty. #50states #MD
Transcript:
Hello, I'm Ambassador Eacho from the U.S. Embassy in Vienna, Austria. I want to tell you about my home state, Maryland.
Maryland is a small state on the eastern seaboard. But don't let its size fool you. The landscape of Maryland is very diverse -- from the low lying eastern shore and Chesapeake Bay area to the metropolitan city, Baltimore, to the forested Appalachian foothills and the mountains in the western part of the state.
Maryland is one of the original 13 colonies. It was established in 1632 when Cecilius Calvert, the baron of Baltimore, received a charter for the land. Calvert named the colony Maryland, in honor of Henrietta Maria, the wife of England's King Charles the first.
In 1788, Maryland became the 7th state.
Maryland earned the nickname, Old Line State, in 1776 when one General stood firm against British troops in the Battle of Long Island, during the Revolutionary War.
Today, Maryland is better known for its beautiful beaches and boardwalk in Ocean City. Have you tried Boardwalk fries doused in vinegar? That's a staple of this seaside town.
Maryland is also known for its crabs steamed in Old Bay Seasoning. In 1989, the Maryland Blue Crab was designated as the official State Crustacean.
During lunch hour on the Chesapeake, vendors sell more crab cakes than hot dogs and hamburgers. And picking crabs is as much fun as eating them.
Further down the coast is the barrier island, Assateague, famous for the free-roaming ponies, the only actual wild ponies in the United States.
The state has 31 miles of coastline on the Atlantic Ocean. However, much of Maryland's 12,400 square miles consists of inland water, including some 400 manmade lakes. The Chesapeake Bay that splits the state is the largest estuary in the United States. It's no wonder that sailing is a favorite pastime in my state. In fact, the capital city, Annapolis, is known as the sailing capital of the world.
In 1980 Baltimore opened Harborplace, a shopping, dining and entertainment complex, and another hot spot for tourists. The National Aquarium, one of the largest and most technologically advanced, is located in Baltimore's Inner harbor.
Every year, the world hears the state song, Maryland, My Maryland. It's sung at the Preakness Stakes, the second leg of the famous Triple Crown thoroughbred race, held at the Pimlico Racecourse in Baltimore.
A more famous song was written by Marylander Francis Scott Key, while he watched the British bombardment of Fort McHenry during the War of 1812. The Star Spangled Banner was officially adopted as America's national anthem in 1931.
Maryland is home to many famous people.
Baseball slugger Babe Ruth was born in Baltimore, not far from Oriole Park at Camden Yards. You can visit the Sultan of Swing's birthplace museum. Swimmer Michael Phelps, of Towson, was the first American to win 8 medals in a single Olympic games.
The Clara Barton National Historic site in Glenn Echo commemorates the life of the founder of the American Red Cross.
Other famous Marylanders include jazz-blues singer Billie Holiday and rock singer Frank Zappa, as well as author Upton Sinclair and abolitionist Harriet Tubman.
Marylanders are as diverse as the state they live in.
My favorite thing about my home state is...crabs...hard shell crabs, soft shells, crab cakes, you name it. The Maryland blue crab is the best tasting crab in the world, and you can never get enough!
