The 51-meter-long traveling museum created by Spain?s Nao Victoria Foundation makes use of ancient seafaring techniques with very minimal modern technology and virtually no fuel at its disposal.

    I love the vibrant colors of these images, and the abstract view in the top photo. I also enjoy that it reminds me of the end of the '80s film classic 'The Goonies.'

    In these photos provided by the U.S. Navy, a small boat being towed by a suspected pirate mothership is destroyed, Feb. 2, 2011, by weapons fire from the guided-missile destroyer USS Momsen after Momsen disrupted an attack on a commercial oil tanker in the Arabian Sea. Momsen and the guided-missile cruiser USS Bunker Hill came to the aid of the merchant vessel simultaneously in a coordinated rescue and assist effort after receiving a distress call. Momsen and Bunker Hill are deployed supporting maritime security operations and theater security cooperation efforts in the U.S. 5th Fleet area of responsibility.
