What kind of boat is that? Is it a tug? A fishboat? I MUST KNOW.

It's this kind of boat:

What do I look like, a sailor?

Oh my god, that is one of the most glorious bastardized boats I have ever seen, and I am something of a professional expert in west coast workboats. I honestly can't tell you what it is -- it's got a mixed hull and a mixed rig.

Looks like a crane on the stern deck, and some sort of hutch that could hold a barbecue or a dive rig... the way that mid-forward deck is cut down looks like a buoy-tending or scientific/dive set-up at a guess, especially with the boom setup.... and that's a lot of radio/radar/etc rig on the pilothouse.

The stern looks tugboat but the bow looks old-time fishing and/or hauling, and the stack is set pretty far back so the engine is far back, which leaves a lot of cargo? room in the bow... I can't tell if that's a shadow or a waterline, but if it's a waterline, then she's riding high and empty in the bow.

What is this show about? What do they use this boat for (other than as shooting range)?_ I am VERY INTRIGUED.

Smuggling. Theoretically. I really enjoy Haven, but there are a LOT of examples of writers Not Doing The Research. At one point a character (who should damn well know better) said he was out of "[shotgun] bullets." I almost screamed at my laptop, "they're called shells! Shotgun shells! Even I know that."

As for what this show's about - keep an eye on this LJ; I plan to put a a rec post for this show sometime tonight.

Well ... I tried.

They're too far apart, the guns are too tiny compared to the rest of the pic, the pic is much wider than it is tall, etc.

I will not feel snubbed if you don't want to use it.

Thank you for trying! I am well aware that I handed out a very difficult screencap.

Oh, man, that's perfect! Thank you so much!

And season two hasn't started, so... you have time to finish season one! And more haven icons from you would be awesome!

Cool! You should totally babble about your thoughts because I am SO in the mood to talk Haven.

Thanks for the heads-up!
