This is the first image that was produced as part of my painting a day. The image depicts the Algoscotia (Algoma Tankers Ltd.) on its way out of port and on the right the Oceanex Sanderling (Oceanex Inc.) After I sent this image to the port authority, I received an email back (read below) which led me to believe that I am on the right track - meaning that from the date and the image, the Port Authority was able to tell me a lot of info based solely on the painting:

Christopher,
The tanker is one of Algoma Tankers that is a regular caller here in Halifax (she goes to oil docks re: fuel delivery). And the other vessel in ward bound is the MV Sanderling which calls every Friday from Newfoundland and she docks at Halterm Centre terminal discharge trailers and centre’s, then proceeds to Auto Port in eastern passage to load up cars for Newfoundland. The cars this vessel picks up are for all dealers in NFLD which come off vessels from Europe and US for delivery in Canada' s eastern region. Also, other cars not destined for NFLD are loaded on rail cars at auto port to CN rail and delivered to other regions of Canada and US.
