Derrick T. Stanley was born in a lonely and islolated log cabin in the middle of the woods. He lived in a little village that only has a population of about 100.

He lived on a small dirt road away from town that leads to a mysterious river that has not been discovered.

Wildlife lived in harmony with humans at that time.

He built the only railroad system at that time. He also completed the longest rail tunnel.

One day, he stumbled upon the river we now call Stanley River and discovered it on October 20th, 1725.  He is honored for his efforts and accomplishments....

Thanks for the info on those plants Bbfan. I like the effects in this update as well as the railroads and plethora of trees. With the tint, railroads, and pristine wilderness, the pictures actually look like they're from the 1800s.

Oooo, pretty! There are many places like that in the northern reaches of Michigan.

[Criquette 0]

Wow latest pics are just great!

[Haljackey 17,398]

Historical photos? Wow, they look great! Excellent "photoshopping" skills!

[Giligone 10]

Wow, great wilderness shots. Apart from the distinctive maxis rail, they hardly look like sc4 at all!

[SimHoTToDDy 2,939]

mmmmmm love sepia... Pics were great too! Nice, old, mountains-in-the-middel-of-nowhere feel to it all. Reminds me of camping in the Poconos =P

[Dsrwhat316 12]

i like the "old-timey" feel of those pics. i especially like the river pic; nice use of the flora pack. great job!

~ Dan

[PhilsCafe 8]

Region map looks yummy as always....

bring on the updates!

[PhilsCafe 8]

Looking forward for the update too.

That rusty old boat is pretty cool.

[gabry85 2]

Great pix, a nice "gold rush" feeling, love the river! I like that rusty boat beached on the cliffs, great work with the flora! Excellent work with the "randomness" of the rivers in the region, looks very realistic! Keep up the good work!

"The searchers all say they'd have made Whitefish Bay

if they'd put fifteen more miles behind 'er.

They might have split up or they might have capsized;

they may have broke deep and took water.

And all that remains is the faces and the names

of the wives and the sons and the daughters."

-Gordon Lightfoot.

Heh, I don't know why, but that rusty old ship makes me think of Lake Superior's wrath...

[Norfrit 0]

Lovely teaser, waiting for more. Ship one looks just fantastic.

[vivydu29 60]

Great region and excellent work, It's very beautiful.

[jacqulina 162]

excellent teaser and very nice region view i love the ship nice pic there my friend

[Nardo69 51]

Great pics, they really look like old pics.

Just, 1725 is 100 years before Stephenson's rocket, AFAIK the railway area begun around 1840 in the USA ...

[Voulpiotis 4]

Wow... Amazing colours!

[bbfan02 23]

Hey everyone! Here is update 56! This is part 1 of 2 of Worchester's islands and reefs series!

This first update shows you the local reefs and shallow swamp areas. These areas hold a lot of history and stories. Many ships were marrooned and are still there today stuck on shallow waters. If you have any comments, questions, or tips for me, please, dont hesitate to tell me. i hope you enjoy this update!

Below: First off, we are focusing on the area circled today.

The next 4 pictures below: Some reefs pictures and island pictures around that area.

Below: A navy ship patrolling the seas.

Below: The only federal route that connects all of those chains of islands.

The next 7 pictures below: The longest bridge in all of the region. Almost 10 miles long! Reefs and life around it.

Below: A quick picture taken at sunset over the shallow bay.

Schulmanator- Thanks! Here's an update!

[Benedict 3,119]

Hey, I missed a bit... really nice historical pictures and I love the low-height road over the water...

[LarksTonguesInAspic 28]

Great bridge, and nice use of Fukuda's rusty freighter. Keep it coming!

[jacqulina 162]

wow very pretty and scenic pics there my friend excellent job with details

[NMUSpidey 3,956]

Haha, I can't take credit for the poem. It's from "The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald" by Gordon Lightfoot. I had to google it (but I can still hum it) Did I cite it?

Your reefs are great, by the way. Nice and reef-y.

[dfnva 34]

Very picturesque area. I like the low bridge/viaduct through the area, kind of like the low bridges, that you almost feel like you're driving on the water, in the Hampton Roads, VA area.

[SimHoTToDDy 2,939]

Wow, those reefs came out very well. I would have never thought to do them like that, or at all really. Everything looked great, but I wanted to see the navy ship (apparently you put the same pic twice instead of that one). But otherwise awsome!

p.s. sucks to be those tankers... LOL
