Reflection: Shipyards in Somerset
Ship construction and maritime commerce were the driving force behind Somerset's progress. These shipyards were located in different areas in Somerset such as the Village, Pottersville, Brayton Point, and along the Lee's River. In the picture of the anchor and ship on the building, I combined the past and the present to show the history of Somerset. At first, I took this picture of the anchor and chain at Water Front Park. This represents the Mount Hope Iron Works Ship Building. I got the picture of the ship from the History of Somerset book. I then took the pictures and overlaid them to make a double exposure. I lowered the opacity of the picture of the ship and edited it so it would be at the same angle that it is on the wall. This imagine represents the history of ship building.
