My God Motts, this sure does bring back memories. I was born in Plaquemine LA. Back then it was a very small town. The Bayou Plaquemine was a very important waterway used too bring goods to the otherwise unaccessable southwestern area of Louisiana. The Plaquemine Locks were built to allow barge service to the Bayou Plaquemine from the Mississippi River. I remember going to the abandoned locks to catch turtles. (for pets) It is now a historic site in Plaquemine, My Uncle still lives in Plaquemine LA. I Sent him a link to your web site and asked him to see if he could find any pics of this tugboat when it was in service. If he can, I will forward them to you so others can see this tug as a it was before it's demise. Thanks for the pics Motts! You truly do have a shot of ******* here.

Cool picture! Just surfed into your site from the U.K. What can I say ? Awesome. I have a morbid fascination for any type of wrecks - Scapa Flow, Normandy (D-Day relics). Seen some fantastic half-tracks/Shermans in France, inc a couple on the beach. Some of those old WW2 planes semi-submerged .

Hey, I'd take the 'Duke' anyday - she's beautiful. And UK law dictates that any squatted structure is automatically yours after 10 years :-)

What can I say, ~Me. I shoot my mouth off, not giving a thought at whose feelings I could be tromping all over, then after being rightfully put in my place I feel (because I have issues) that I need to kiss the proverbial keister. Thus, hoping to get back into the good graces of those I have insulted.

"That said, there are rumours that a lone hermit lives (or lived) on the Duke of Lancaster, the remains of a beached liner on the Welsh coast. That is what you might call 'extreme squatting'..."


That was me back in the day. But now I live on a nice boat of my own. Who says the homeless are hopeless ? ;~)

No, Twug, I don't play golf, but a golf course is a serene setting to spend a weekend morning. Just Finished surfing Motts' musical sites, quite entertaining I must say. Wish I was in the NYC area, I'd check out a performance

My goodness Mike! Awesome poem! I've written a few myself but am not quite brave enough to show them to my best friend - let alone on the internet. Thank you very much for sharing.
