The photograph is from one of the U.S.S. Constitution's turn around cruises. The oldest active duty warship in the world.

Did you use a normal lens with in-camera stitching as you hand-panned, OR did you take a series of photos and post-process outside the camera, OR did you use a dedicated panoramic camera & lens set-up? Was it not possible with the lens and perspective you had here to include the tops of the sails and mast?

Thank you for sharing.

The U.S.S. Constitution is maintained by the U.S. Navy. The Coast Guard ship Eagle may be the one you are thinking of.

The photograph was taken with A Fuji 617 panoramic film camera. The masts were not included due to my inability to get any further back from where I was standing.

Was the lens employed considered to be normal/standard/~50 - 55 mm in 35 mm equivalent terms?

The lens was a 105mm. The f/8 stop was the widest opening although in practice it was better to stop down for edge to edge sharpness. I used the
camera to shoot some of my images for annual reports. Makes we wonder how photographers today would tolerate just a few frames and having to wait to see the results.

So that's a 105 mm lens in 35 mm equivalent terms, right? What other lenses do you have for this camera? I take it you used a tripod?

Finally, I don't understand your reference to "... photographers today would tolerate a few frames ... " Is it that this panoramic camera of yours uses film? Thank you.

Let me set the record straight. The Fuji 617 uses film. 120 or 220. Photographers today would have a hard time not being able to worry about
running out of photographs due to the almost unlimited amount they can take using digital. I go way back to using a Speed Graphic 4x5 with sheet film and flash bulbs. The only electronics in those cameras was the flash gun which would trigger an electro magnetic selonoid to trip the shutter. Each film holder had two sheets of film. Unless you had a film pact that held 12 or a Graphmatic that held six sheets of film. Photographers learned back then to compose their shots more carefully. I have since sold the Fuji 617. There is more on the camera if you Google the Fuji 617 name.
