Because there are several of them can they be called a ‘fleet’ or is that just a naval term? I don’t know what the term is for a group of assorted boats is ⛴️ ⛴️

When they are afloat maybe. Not sure about when beached. |

Well it isn't a Longboat. I've seen one in a museum, I can't remember if that was in Sweden or in Norway, let alone the name of the town. I don't know what it is though. There seems to be no keel or centreboard so it won't sail that well although the one to the left does look like it has a mount for a mast, nor can I see rowlocks so presumably it isn't propelled by oars. That exhausts my knowledge of boats. A look for collective nouns suggests that some small sailing dinghy classes may have "fun" collective names based on the class name but I wasn't motivated to read on. |

Looks like monochrome film used with a red filter (the EXIF data is blank, so I cannot tell if it's a processed digital shot or a scanned negative). This looks like the kind of fibreglass boat my wife and I hired many years ago to explore the river Fowey, complete with a small outboard motor that fitted on the back. It was very slow and we were useless at handling it. |

The shot itself is digital and I think I used the red, or possibly yellow, filter option when I converted it in Photoshop; it's also possible that I used a blue or green filter option on the foreground to keep the stones on the darker side. |

I can see the Exif on Flickr. I am Flickr Pro so not sure if that makes a difference. |

Same for me, on both counts. Or on three, if you count the last eight words...
ETA: Off topic, bit, but anyone any idea how they choose the icons for the camera used? Don't always seem apposite.

I saved the image from this web page to my hard disc, and then looked at its properties before deleting it. The downloaded file had no EXIF data about the camera, lens, exposure, etc.
If I click on the image displayed here, I am connected to the Flickr website. Once there, having got past the cookies rejection option, I can then see the EXIF data. So the image displayed here is itself the link to Flickr, rather than a copy of the image as I had assumed (I don't use Flickr myself). |

So the image displayed here is itself the link to Flickr, rather than a copy of the image as I had assumed (I don't use Flickr myself). Yes, that's how the bulletin board code (bbc) works. The picture [on Flickr] can be viewed here without using up site resources. It also avoids all problems of "ownership" that occur when photo-sharing sites grab all uploaded content - there was furore over the Fuji-X site when it changed hands and the new T&C claimed free usage of everything uploaded, including previously posted stuff. For speed of access a copy of the image is cached somewhere and most browsers allow this copy to be saved to disk. I always thought the EXIF data was retained in that process. If the Flickr file is deleted then it will (once the cache expires) vanish from all sites where it has been shown using bbc. A peculiarity of Flickr is that if you make the image private then it has a unique identity. If you edit it and replace it on Flickr then any pre-existing bbc link is broken. For public images the id persists so bbc link remains valid. I have to be careful in Lightroom because this will try to republish any image opened in the editor even if no changes are made. Anything of mine I post here without a copyright statement appearing across it is private on Flickr. |

I hadn't realised that downloaded files from Flickr lose the EXIF data. |

Looks like a glorified canoe to me. Collective noun is still just a fleet or flotilla but perhaps someone should come up with one for beached varieties.
