Such a beautiful 'old Lady' quietly going away. Great picture. I can see what she was as a working boat. Have always loved tugs.

I really don't mind receiving critical comments, I know I'm not an incredible photographer and I always try to better myself. Carl is entitled to his opinion (but I loathe washed out backgrounds, I disagree there), I don't think he shouldn't be attacked, he wasn't extremely rude or anything.

Touching upon the question he posed, if someone died while climbing around at these places I wouldn't feel responsible morally or legally, as I have not forced anyone to go to these places - they would have gone on their own accord. It would be a terrible thing without a doubt, but I cannot take responsibility for the actions of everyone looking at this web site.

When I worked on tugbaots in NY harbor, this, I think, is the boat that my captain said was his daddy's tugboat down in Virginia long ago. The reason, he said, that the house structure was so much longer on deck than our was is because they had segregated black and white galleys. I just thought, "the goddamn south, eh?"

with rust..

kwasje verf er over en klaar

wat een bonk roest

It makes me think about the romances that must have happened there in times gone by.

Those cylenders are for the ropes.

Do you see the other woman standing?

I do imajine the stories. That is why it sometimes bothers me when the boats are cut and scrapped. It is like an old hotel here in Shawnee, OK. that was to be torn down. Now it is a landmark because of all the history that happened there.

dose anyone remember the sci-fi serials? It looks like a robot escaped from one and is in this pic. Does anyone see it?

You just want to get on one? Some of those would be good for an unusual home. Nothing like being a little different from the masses.

wonder wot the cylindrical things on her skin are there for???
greetings from holland btw....and I love your pics...

I fell in love with this photo.

ANACONDAS!
