Russian flagged general cargo ship Shuya heading South through the Straits of Messina on 2 June 2012.

The Straits of Messina form the narrow passage between the Eastern tip of Sicily and the Western tip of Calabria in Southern Italy. It connects the Tyrrehenian Sea to the North with the Ionian sea to the South and  at its narrowest point it measures 1.9 miles wide although near the town of Messina the width increases to approximately 3.2 miles, maximum depth is
830 ft.

Behind the ship can be seen the city of Messina and some of the ferries that regularly cross the straits to either Villa San Giovanni or Reggio Calabrie on the mainland.

    My interest in ships and the sea started back in 2006 when I worked for a couple of years  on the banks of the River Mersey. I have since been on a couple of cruises around the Med and in the Far East and have started to take more interest in researching and photographing some of the ships and other vessels seen on my travels.
