Everytime one visits Galveston, a trip on the Bolivar Ferry is essential. As can readily be seen in this hand-held, 360-degree panorama, a simply splendid day can be had: www.panoramio.com/photo/31231777
The SS Selma, Flagship of the Texas Army can been observed in this panorama. It is a World War I reinforced concrete tanker scuttled near a "marine battlefied" during the Civil War (www.crystalbeach.com/selma.htm).
This panorama is comprised of 29 photographs, which were taken with a Nikon D-70 using a Nikkor 28-80 f/3.3-5.6G lens and was stitched using the GigaPan Stitcher software.Note: This panorama can be seen in Google Earth as a curved panorama on a curved surface by clicking the link, View in Google Earth (assuming that you have Google Earth installed on your computer).

Obviously, there is lots to see and to do: www.panoramio.com/photo/31231777&n bsp;
The
main problem is taking apanorama when another
object is close and is moving either in a
different direction or at a different speed than
what your speed and direction are. As you can see,
there are even stitching errors on the coast,
which is some distance away. For you, there is the
Isle of Wight that you can go back and forth on a
hovercraft, and if you do this, be sure and take
some crackers and some enjoyable company ...
although on a hovercraft, you may only be able to
stay in cramped quarters or passenger area with
your crackers and enjoyable company, which is not
a bad thing :)

Cool image with lots to see. It has made me wonder about the practicality of using a gigapan imager at sea. If the sea was relatively calm it should work I think. I wonder if anyone has tried it?
