US Coast Guard and 2024 RNC March — A U.S. Coast Guard patrol boat navigates the Milwaukee River beneath the Wells Street Bridge during the 2024 Republican National Convention. The vessel was part of a multi-agency security operation to maintain order during the convention and associated protests. Maritime units established a visible presence along the riverfront, which is a key artery through downtown Milwaukee, to ensure the safety of delegates and the public.

U.S. Coast Guard patrol boat 29455 operates in Boston Harbor with crew members aboard. — Boat 29455 is a Coast Guard Defender-class response boat, a 25-foot craft built for port security, search and rescue, and law enforcement patrols in harbors and coastal waters. These boats are standard for Coast Guard Stations along the East Coast and typically carry a crew of three to four. Logan International Airport's runways sit across the water, a reminder of how closely Boston's harbor traffic and air traffic share the same waterfront.

Magestic Star Casino Boat in Wisconsin — The Magestic Star casino boat sitting at Bay Shipbuilding in Sturgeon Bay, Wisconsin. The boat was docked for decades in Gary, Indiana before closing in 2021 after new Indiana legislation allowed for land-based casinos.

Cargo ship docked at Tokyo Port alongside warehouses and industrial buildings. — Tokyo Port ranks among Japan's busiest, handling several million tons of cargo annually as one of the country's designated major ports. Opened to international shipping in 1941, it forms part of the larger Keihin industrial region along Tokyo Bay, alongside the ports of Yokohama and Kawasaki. The Tokyo Metropolitan Government owns and operates the port, which includes dedicated terminals for containers, roll-on/roll-off vessels, and bulk cargo. Its waterfront districts, including Oi and Shinagawa, combine berths with adjacent factories and warehouses supporting the capital's manufacturing and distribution networks.

The tours offer snorkeling and fishing trips to the Belize Barrier Reef, with contact information posted for visitors at the beachfront site.

Blue and red fishing boats dock at a wooden pier on Lake Atitlán in San Pedro La Laguna, Guatemala. — San Pedro La Laguna sits on the southwestern shore of Lake Atitlán, a crater lake formed roughly 84,000 years ago by a massive volcanic eruption. Lanchas — open motorized launches like these — remain the primary way residents and visitors move between San Pedro and the lake's other towns, since no road circles the entire shoreline. Public lancha routes typically connect San Pedro to Panajachel, Santiago Atitlán, and San Marcos La Laguna, with docks doubling as informal gathering points for vendors and waiting passengers. The town itself is one of the larger Tz'utujil Maya communities on the lake, known for Spanish-language schools and coffee cultivation on the surrounding volcanic slopes.

Fishing and passenger boats dock at a wooden pier on Lake Atitlán in Panajachel, Guatemala, with volcanic mountains rising across the water. — Lake Atitlán fills a caldera left by a massive volcanic eruption roughly 84,000 years ago, and today it reaches depths of over 300 meters, making it one of the deepest lakes in Central America. Panajachel serves as the main launch point for passenger boats connecting lakeside towns such as Santiago Atitlán, San Pedro La Laguna, and Santa Cruz La Laguna, few of which have reliable road access. The volcanoes visible across the water—Atitlán, Tolimán, and San Pedro—ring the lake's southern shore and remain active or dormant cones tied to the same volcanic system that formed the basin. Wooden piers like this one are rebuilt seasonally, as the lake's water level fluctuates significantly from year to year with rainfall and underground drainage patterns that scientists still don't fully understand.

Patrick Gannaway Boat in St Paul — The towboat Patrick Gannaway is moored on the Mississippi River in St. Paul, Minnesota. The vessel is tied along the industrial riverfront below the city’s bluffs, where the Mississippi remains an active commercial navigation corridor for barge traffic and related marine operations. Night lighting along the opposite bank and on nearby riverfront facilities situates the boat within the working infrastructure of the upper Mississippi in March 2018.

A small tour boat is moored in shallow water off the beach in Punta Cana, Dominican Republic, beneath approaching storm clouds. — A small tour boat is moored along the beach in Punta Cana, Dominican Republic, as storm clouds move in over the Caribbean Sea. Punta Cana’s reef-protected shoreline is a common departure area for nearshore excursion and snorkeling boats, and the vessel is secured directly at the waterline rather than at a marina or pier.

Abandoned ferry boat with yellow slide moored in shallow water off Punta Cana, Dominican Republic. — An abandoned ferry boat sits partially submerged off Punta Cana, La Altagracia Province, Dominican Republic. The vessel’s stripped upper deck, rusting frame, and attached yellow slide suggest it was adapted for excursion or leisure use before being left offshore.

Aluminum boats moored on a wooden dock at Bde Maka Ska in Minneapolis, with sailboats anchored in the background. — Aluminum boats are secured on the wooden dock at Bde Maka Ska in Minneapolis. The lake, formerly known as Lake Calhoun, is one of the most popular bodies of water in the Chain of Lakes park system. It is a central feature of the city's parkland, offering residents and visitors opportunities for boating, swimming, and other water activities.
