This photo has lain in my in tray for years because it is actually the Mac Tide "something", and it is just possible to see that there are a couple of numbers after the name, but it should be seen because the atmosphere of the GOM offshore environment has been captured so well. Possible numbers could be 48, 61 or 62, but whichever one it is it has either two of three propellers and is powered by about 7000 bhp of EMDs (probably).

Photograph taken in 2002 by Kenny Polson and published here on 24th April 2017.
