I agree with autoguy. I think the Ferry must have gotten stuck in the mud (grounded), and no tugboat was able to get it loose. What a shame!
Great shot, Motts! It almost looks like there's about an inch of fog hovering right above the water.

This was one of my favorite parts of the video. How that car rolls down and up reminded me of one of my favorite rides at a Six Flags when i was a kid.
Awesome photo!

Ooooo! That pic ROcks! Ghostly cold. & the videos showed me something i have never seen, nor will probably ever see again. Much appreciated!
This is the Boiler Feedwater controller for one of the four Boilers onsite.
This is the underfire air blower,which supplied air to the Boilers travelling grate(where the coal was sitting) under pressure during operation
The catwalk allowed you to operate the augers in the middle,so the coal would drop into the correct hopper (the big pit below),which would then feed it into the Boiler by overfeed stoker.
Worked there in the bad ol' days........
