USRC Boutwell. USRC George S. Boutwell (later Boutwell) was a revenue cutter of the United States Revenue Cutter Service that served from 1873 to 1907 designed for cruising the southern coasts. She was named for George S. Boutwell, the 28th United States Secretary of the Treasury.

Construction
Boutwell was an iron–hulled top-sail schooner fitted with a single semi-compound steam engine,  and  x  stroke, powering twin screws. She was constructed at the shipyard of David Bell of Buffalo, New York with a contract cost of  70,000. She had an unusual power-plant in that the two cylinders could operate independently with one cylinder per screw or together as a compound engine. She displaced 198 tons and was  long with a beam of  and a draft of . The first use of steel in Revenue Service cutters was specified in the construction of valve stems and crank pins installed in the Boutwell engine room.

History
Boutwell was commissioned at Buffalo, New York on 29 October 1873. She was stationed temporarily at Ogdensburg, New York before being assigned a homeport on 11 September 1874 at Savannah, Georgia. On 18 February 1879 she was directed to make a monthly cruise to Jacksonville, Florida. On 27 August 1881 Boutwell was driven aground by a hurricane at McQueens Island on the Savannah River. On 20 October 1882, the Revenue Cutter Service contracted with Malster & Reaney of Baltimore, Maryland to build a new boiler, repair machinery and hull for 17,575 with work to commence 30 October 1882. She was ordered to return to Savannah after refit and arrived there 13 June 1883 to resume a regular cruising schedule to Jacksonville monthly. With tensions between the Spanish and the U.S. rising over Cuban independence, Boutwell,  and  were directed to enforce neutrality laws from Wilmington, North Carolina to Pensacola, Florida. She was ordered to serve with the U.S. Navy from 27 April  to 1 June 1897. On 24 December she was ordered to Jacksonville to maintain surveillance over the tug Dauntless which had been seized by USRC Louis McLane for neutrality violations related to smuggling arms into Cuba. Dauntless had been seized with 175 rifles and 300,000 rounds of ammunition and medical supplies on board and Boutwell guarded her until 24 February 1898. On 24 September 1898, she was permanently assigned a new homeport at New Bern, North Carolina where she served until 3 July 1907. Boutwell was transferred to the Revenue Cutter Service Depot at Arundel Cove, Maryland where the commanding officer received orders to transfer the officers and crew to the newly built . Boutwell was decommissioned at Baltimore, Maryland, 26 July 1907 and sold to Leo Kimball of Mobile, Alabama for 2,010 on 23 October 1907.

Chinese destroyer Xining (117). Xining (117) is a Type 052D destroyer of the People's Liberation Army Navy. She was commissioned on 22 June 2017.

Development and design 
The basic ship type and layout of the Type 052D guided-missile destroyer is the same as that of the Type 052C destroyer, but compared to the earlier Type 052C destroyer, the Type 052D superstructure has a larger inclination angle and provides better stealth performance. At the same time, the 052C helicopter hangar is located The left side of the hull axis was changed to the center axis of the ship on Type 052D; a pair of small boat storage compartments were added on both sides of the hangar, similar to the design on the Type 054A frigate. 

The close in weapon system is composed of a H/PJ-12 short-range defense weapon system located in front of the bridge and a 24 Hongqi-10 air defense missile system located on the top of the hangar, which is combined to form a ladder interception. The original 100mm naval gun was replaced by a higher height and better stealth model H/PJ45 naval gun. On May 13, 2019, the extended version of the 052DL was exposed. The hull of the 052DL is basically the same as the 052D, but the helicopter deck is lengthened to prepare for the Zhi-20 to board the ship.

The Type 52D is the first Chinese surface combatant to use canister-based universal VLS, as opposed to the concentric type VLS carried aboard earlier vessels. 64 cells are carried; 32 forward and 32 aft. The VLS is reportedly an implementation of the GJB 5860-2006 standard. The VLS may fire the extended-range variant of the HHQ-9 surface-to-air missile, YJ-18 anti-ship cruise missiles, and CY-5 anti-submarine missiles.

Construction and career 
Xining was the fifth ship of the class and launched on 26 August 2014 at the Jiangnan Shipyard in Shanghai. Commissioned on 22 June 2017.

30 December 2019, Xining left Chabahar Port, Iran after a joint naval exercise with Russian Navy. The exercise was held in the Gulf of Oman from December 27-30.

On 22 May 2022, the Xining conducted drills in the East China Sea as a part of the Liaoning Carrier Group; and they were sighted near Miyako Island by the JMSDF.

Lincoln Park Passerelle. The Lincoln Park Passerelle is a through arch pedestrian bridge in Chicago. It spans Lake Shore Drive, and allows pedestrians to cross between Lincoln Park and the North Avenue Beach. The bridge was designed by Ralph H. Burke and was completed in 1940. It is a contributing property to the Lincoln Park Historic District. It was featured in the Museum of Modern Art's exhibit "Built in USA: 1932-44", and the museum designated it one of the country's 47 best structures. Preservation Chicago listed the bridge as one of Chicago's seven most endangered landmarks in 2007, as it is threatened with demolition.

Dovekie 21. The Dovekie 21, often called just the Dovekie, is an American sailing dinghy, named for the sea bird. It was designed by Phil Bolger as a cruiser and first built in 1978.

Production
The design was built by Edey & Duff in the United States. It was reported in 1994 that 152 examples had been completed, but it is now out of production.

Design
The Dovekie is a recreational sailboat, built predominantly of fiberglass over an Airex foam core. It has a catboat rig with an aft-raked mast and a wishbone boom. The hull is flat-bottomed, with a raked stem, a canoe stern, a spade-type rudder controlled by a tiller and dual retractable leeboards, with a retractable bow centerboard. It displaces  and carries no ballast.

The boat has a draft of  with a leeboard extended and  with it retracted, allowing beaching or ground transportation on a trailer.

It may be powered by oars or a small outboard motor of up to  for docking and maneuvering.

For sailing the design is equipped with two sets of reefing points. For furling the sail is roll-gathered against the mast. It has built-in flotation and is unsinkable. The cockpit can accommodate four people and boat has space for two people to sleep overnight, on top of two stowage lockers in the forward cabin.

Factory standard equipment provided included an anchor, life jackets, oars and a signaling kit.

Operational history
In a 1994 review Richard Sherwood described the design as "a cruising sailboat for two, with power available, but not necessary ... Meant for short cruises, and with the exceptional draft, gunkholing, (For minimum draft the leeboards are raised, and the small centerboard forward and the rudder reduce leeway.) The leeboards provide more space in the cabin. Since Dovekie is very light, oars, which are provided, may be used for auxiliary power. There are two sets of reef points, and an unusual method of furling: the sail is rolled forward on itself, but not on the mast."

In a 2010 review Steve Henkel wrote, the "Dovekie is basically a decked-over open boat. Bolger's design is unusual (some would say radical) with a dead-flat bottom (no rocker, no deadrise), leeboards, a tiny bow centerboard for working to weather in shallows, and oar ports so she can be used without resorting to outboard power (though a side-mounted outboard bracket is a popular option). Best features: Dovekie feels like a big skiff under sail, and is fairly stable both underway and at anchor, especially considering her light, unballasted hull .. Worst features: Rowing power or a 2-hp outboard will only move her at about 2 to 3 knots. Accommodations are minimal, though no worse than her [competitors]. Be prepared to rough it."
