The boat is an accurate replica and completed a voyage from Norway.

I didn't realise there were so many replica Viking ships - still not found the right one!

No stamina, I think that we are at the House of Manannan museum in Peel on the Isle of Man.

Bingo! You have control om.
It’s a museum well worth the visit if you’re ever over in the IoM.

Thanks Sisemen, this is a pretty distinctive bridge.

Bit slow this morning, this town did have an aviation industry, which in fact experienced an unexpected bonus after WWII, but was later bought out by one of the large US manufacturers.

No takers, do you have a beef about this challenge?

Honestly don't know where to start looking; Ex-A suggested that the traffic lights look American style. However your above clue leads me to think that it isn't' America.
So perhaps Canada or the Pacific even.

We haven't visited this area very much on this thread, it has a history of volatile political and economic events, lapsing into revolution at times. In the early part of the 20th century around 43% of the city population were European migrants. A turbulent century, but has settled down a little now, a University town, but with industries based on agriculture, engineering and science.
Pleasant temperate climate.

Bicentennial Bridge, Cordoba?
It's always my fault - SWMBO
Re: The Smokin' Hot Where On Earth Thread Mk III
It is the bridge over the river Rio Suqula in Cordoba in Argentina, so tacos for Stacker. Looks quite a unique bridge, strange looking building behind it.
Well found, the tequilas are on Stacker.

Gracias, señor. That was a good challenge. I spent most of last night looking at Eastern/Central Europe. I had even looked at Buenos Aires because of the graffiti on the riverside wall but drew a blank.
Anyway, back to more traditional subjects.
