Yesterday I had a really neat opportunity to tour one of the Corps tugboats and barge. One my friend's, Lauren, dad is the Captain of one of the boats and the boat was dry docked for repairs. He invited us to come down for a tour and lunch - so neat!!
Sorry the pictures are that great - they were taken with a blackberry.
One of the propeller things under the boat. The actual propeller thing has been taken off and that is one of the things they are working on.
Views from the driver's seat.
This reminded me of the part of the cruise ship you never get to see.
Look at the big windshield wipers!
Aren't we cute sportin' the hard hats?
This picture does not show the magnitude of how really big this crane is...this is just the bottom third. Can you imagine being the operator of this?!? Look at the big digger thing to the right!
I am not sure if this is used to pick up rocks or limbs...there is a claw thing for each.
