Finally launched my 44ft Motor Lifeboat website today, which showcases the research I have done over the last 21 years into this class of lifeboat.
Perhaps I am most pleased with the animated title which I guess I used way to much time on.
Please have a look at

I just looked at it with Firefox and the header wasn't animated. DId I do something wrong?

I checked on FF and it worked for me. I think the issue is the animation takes too long to happen. I would decrease the time it takes for the animation to take place otherwise nobody is going to notice that it actually does animate. Otherwise, very nice job!

Nice site with a great piece of history. Like the others the animation doesn't start onload but will if clicked...

Its a while since I made the animation but this what I found now when I looked at it again.
I agree that the animation is to slow between the changes.
I built it with the Fotorama Extension setting the duration to 12000 ms to get the boat to travel at the correct speed (anything faster would be completely wrong for this type of boat). The problem seems to be and how I remember it now, is whatever figure I put in the interval box it pauses for this same length of time!
