Ships (33/49)

A ship is a large watercraft that travels the world's oceans and other sufficiently deep waterways, carrying goods or passengers, or in support of specialized missions, such as defense, research, and fishing. Ships are generally distinguished from boats, based on size, shape, load capacity, and tradition.

Sand Dollar

Echinarachnius parma

Size: to 3"

Think of the Sand Dollar as a flattened Sea Urchin. They live on and slightly buried in sandy bottoms, at any depth.

Soak them in a bleach mixture and then rub off the spines with a rag to get a nice white keepsake. The tiny spines are like cactus needles and can be very irritating. Live Sand Dollars are pink; they turn green in death, and the indelible green pigment will rub off on anything it touches.
