here are some rusty details from the old naval base that is now a popular seaside park.
the sign says 'KEEP OFF THE GRASS' but it only applies to a small section by the canal bridge.
just on the other side of the bridge there is an old ship's crane that was used for loading and unloading boats on the canal
though the picturesque crane is superficially rusty it is actually well-maintained but has not been in use for decades
the wharf buildings have lots of nice simple hardware from a bygone era
edit: by accident a few photos that had been previously posted were included in this post. i removed them as soon as i realized what i had done
