The Jimmy Smith and the Invader, Two large tug boats beached to be cutup for scrap metal in Port Mellon, British Columbia.
"Tugs have been towing aggregate-laden barges out of British Columbia’s Pitt River and on down the Fraser River since the days of wooden scows and steam-powered tugs. Since the earliest days the boats have had to contend with the railway bridge about three miles upstream from the Pitt’s confluence with the Fraser River. Over the generations, skippers have learned a lot about the tides and river currents that challenged the old steam power and continue to challenge the modern diesel-powered tugs. This is not stuff that is taught in maritime training schools. It is knowledge that is learned by making the run with an experienced captain and finally by new captains feeling their way into the job."

In meinen Augen die echten Helden und Könner in allen Häfen dieser Welt !
In my eyes, the real heroes and experts in all ports of the world!
This Tug boat is a real work hoarse and, it is quite literally life blood to the area. We see it bringing barges from the "mainland", loaded with goods for the grocery stores, and hardware stores, just to name a few of the multitude of reasons. We see it taking barges away filled with aggregate sand from the area and off to California, replenishing that disappearing coast. Or, log booms to wood mills that will later become building material for housing projects or perhaps furniture.
Stationary for a moment, a long exposure smooths out the already calm ocean water. Color touches the horizon over the mountains on Vancouver Island and the moon makes an early appearance.

60010 is seen crossing over onto the slows at Trowell junction working the 6M04 1201 Dowlow Briggs sidings - Toton North Yard 13/2/23.
A trip over to Nottingham to see family today and, at around £15 return, I let the train take the strain.
Having debunked in the city-centre for the meet up, my return journey was timed for the 2.16pm to Crewe - ample time I thought to bag a shot of the Kingsbury - Humber Refinery tankers due to arrive for a crew change around 1.45pm.
However, a progress check on FreightLocate revealed it was running 21 minutes late at Stenson Junction and, knowing it had the congested Trent Junction to negotiate, I figured it might run even later. A quick decision therefore saw me board an earlier train to my old home station of Beeston which would give me an additional 12 minutes of leeway.
The above is the result, given a slightly artistic tweak to try emphasise the rawness of the day. It's been a while since I visited and I didn't expect to see a healthy (and photogenic) growth of vegetation on the awning!
As it happened, the extra time I gained from the move wasn't needed - the train arrived in Nottingham just 10 minutes down on schedule! For the record then, DB Tug 60062 passes Beeston with the 11.04am Kingsbury - Humber Oil refinery discharged tankers (6E54).
Also for the record, the industrial buildings at left occupy what used to be the Plessey Telecomnmunications site - a sizeable manufacturing complex producing telephone exchanges. As digital technology developed the complex eventually closed and the site was all but flattened in recent years, to be replaced, at least partially, by new companies and buildings - including the one in the frame. At one time my desk would have been located on the ground floor roughly in the middle of the building. That was in the mid-1970s - which seems a long time ago now.

These two bolts only have one nut between them, thus causing this tussle and fight! They are desperately trying to gain ownership it! A rubber washer is acting as referee in the tug.
As a Tug boat makes its way across the horizon, it is momentarily struck by a ray of light. At that instant, a wash reaches the water front and leaves its mark as well.
Like blood to our arteries, these "vessels" are in many ways the life blood to the area. They bring various goods, and transport other cargos by way of barge. This one is lit and on its way toward its next port of call.
