This is a B&W image of one of many boats undergoing repairs in a boatyard in Port Townsend, WA. Port Townsend is the home of the wooden boat show that takes place around Labor Day each year.
Steinbeck's Western Flyer is being repaired in this same yard. The Western Flyer is housed in a building making it difficult to photograph.

I really like your photograph. The perspective of the whole image seems to have even arranged the sky to cooperate for a fabulous image. Congrats.
Nice Shot! - I visited Port Townsend about 15 years ago for the 'Wooden Boat Festival', and was not disappointed!
Folks from all over the world come for this, and it's an amazing collection of wooden boats, from Sailing Vessels to Yachts, Kayaks, Row-Boats, and more!
(I even photographed the 'Pirate Ship' from "Pirates of the Carribean" there, and it's MUCH smaller than it looks in the Movie)
The Town is quite pretty and quaint, with lots of Photo Opps as well!
Nice--black and white serves you well here.
Great shot, love the composition

And the Tally Ho Of YouTube fame.
Interesting photo! I love wooden boats but happy I never owned one! Enormous amount of work and $ to maintain a wooden boat!
Great shot, B&W is perfect
