One of the advantages of working from home: witnessing scenes in the street that I normally don't see. Like men cleaning the underground waste containers inside and out before emptying them.
Finally got my poor little seedlings into bigger pots. Still need more containers and soil as some are still too many per pot. But it is finally a start at gardening in my new home.

A well-weathered container ship arrives at the Port of Savannah. It was way too big to fit into a single frame.
It seems to be an unwritten rule that microspace builders need a container ship somewhere in their fleet. Thus, I built this little number, an interplanetary tugboat which latches to barges such as this one. I'm fairly happy with the design, the idea was generally a space Model T. As such, it comes in any color, so long as it's black. The engines are able to rotate and I'll probably flesh them out in the future somewhat. Very much inspired by this ship by нawk.
Departure from Heysham on board the Isle of Man Steam Packet Company's MANXMAN on Thursday January 16, 2025 on the 13:45 sailing to Douglas. The buildings to the right are Heysham A and B power stations. If the original plans had been completed the area occupied by the power stations would also have been used for port activities.
Historic notes from Wikipedia:
In 1891, the Midland Railway, which already operated Morecambe Harbour four miles to the north east, gave notice of its intention to develop a new harbour at Heysham and appointed consulting engineers James Abernethy and his son to undertake a feasibility study of the project. The plan was for an enclosed dock accessed through a lock, this idea made no further progress.
In 1895, a much larger Heysham port plan was put forward by Messrs James Abernethy & Son, in conjunction with the Midland Railway's chief engineer. This formed the basis of the harbour which was built, although there were many changes as work progressed and the full scheme was never completed. In 1896, an enabling Act of Parliament was obtained for the construction of the harbour and the contract for construction was let in July 1897. The project cost about £3 million.
The first ship to dock at Heysham was the Antrim, one of the ships that the Midland Railway had ordered for Heysham services. She came into the harbour on delivery from builders, John Brown at Clydebank on the 31st of May 1904. The first passenger sailing was a day trip to Douglas, Isle of Man by the Londonderry on the 13th of August 1904.
The south jetty was built in 1909 to reduce silt build up in the harbour entrance, plans from 1907 show that two jetties where originally planned each side of the entrance, but a north jetty was never actually built.
In 1941 a deep-water berth (Ocean Jetty) was built to the north east of harbour entrance. This was to allow tankers which were too large for the port to berth at the new Trimpell refinery which produced aviation fuel. Much of the fuel produced would have been for fighter aircraft stationed in Britain during World War II. After the Tranmere pipeline construction the Ocean Jetty berth was rarely used until its demolition in 1976.
Following the privitisation of British Railways Seallink Heysham Port was acquired by Sea Containers Ltd. In 2001 the Mersey Docks and Harbour Company (MDHC) bought the port from Sea Containers.
Then in August 2005 the MDHC was bought by and merged with Peel Ports Limited who are the current proprietors.
