A tricky whereisit

Or indeed, WHAT is it?

 

[E39mad]

Old ferry terminal before bridge built. Ille de Re?

 

[jimi]

Wrecked mulberry harbour?

 

[MoodySabre]

Wrong continent

Lost Southend Kursaal classic toilet block ?

 

[pelicanpete]

Centre console boat with T-top suggests it may be in the USA - somewhere in the Florida Keys, perhaps?

 

[boomerangben]

I don't know, but you've got a huge bit of dust on your camera sensor (or you have cropped in alot)

 

[MoodySabre]

USA but not that south

Lost Southend Kursaal classic toilet block ?

We went there in about 1954. The best fairground we ever went on and much better than Battersea. I still remember some of the attractions, water-chute, switchback and crazy house. Sorry; just reminiscing, nothing to do with the question.

About the same first time for me too.

How about Tornado Smith on The Wall of Death ?

Also the 'Toboggan' . The coppers had White Helmets and Daimler Darts too.

Sorry forumites - East Coast reminiscing.

U.S., north eastern seaboard? Is it...Cable Junction, from Jaws 2?

Oh no, that was actually just a movie set, wasn't it. A load of fake boulders strapped onto a barge. Convincing, though.

Agreed, that 'flybridge' sailboat looks decidedly American. I give up.

The answer

It was taken from Sea Gull Pier, where the Chesapeake Bridge/Tunnel becomes a tunnel.

 

[dancrane]

Dare I say, from the map, it resembles the set for a megabucks-disaster movie?

CIA man Caruso - The bomb is most likely in the north end of the tunnel...but we're not sure...

Secret psychotic turncoat FBI man Malkovich - And, most likely it'll only take out a school-bus or two...

Mayor Hanks - Goddammit, I want that tunnel closed if there's the least chance of civilian harm...

Cigar-chomping Colonel Spacey - I'll send in the semtex-drone myself, show these ball-busters we don't negotiate!

Quiet plain-clothes man Clooney - Umm, there could be another way, gentlemen...

 

[MoodySabre]

It was an interesting drive

 

[pelicanpete]

Chesapeake, perhaps. Never been but pure guess...
