The Point Lisas Pearl freighter is unloading its cargo of road salt at the Granite State Minerals terminal in Portsmouth, New Hampshire. According to Shipspotting.com, it’s a 188 meter long general cargo ship built in 1984 currently sailing under the Bahamas flag. That website also provides the current position of the ship as reported by the Automatic Identification System (AIS), which uses transceivers on ships to transmit their location to base stations.
I converted this image to black & white and used an artistic filter to enhance the ship’s superstructure.
