Sad & sorry you have lost your good true friend Nick Santangelo, Mr. Motts; a nice way to honor him with the Gallery Isle of The Dead;
Grateful about all the pictures, the links, and the text -
unequaled & unsurpassed story of events this time. Life´s sadness shows
Order; Aphotic; Open Floor; and Hull photographs all indeed very clever.....
May you friend Rest in Peace; may You always be well is my daily wish

I believe the style is called a Bradley Sink, and there would've been posts sticking up from the middle to dispense the water, which seem to have been removed from these.

The bodies arrive already boxed up in the truck, so it's unclear how this one got emptied. Perhaps there's a few spares laying around just in case. The room had some roughly-made shelves and storage bins, and is probably just a dry place to keep things next to the work site.

Tom, my usual pleasure at seeing a new gallery was greatly tempered by reading of your friend's untimely demise...If he had much to do with what you do, (And we "opaheads" so enjoy!) we here ALL owe him a great debt of gratitude...RIP Nick...the greatest exploration awaits us all...
