Note the impressive Barry Docks building which has recently been restored.
I managed to take another shot of the same bug :)

Coreus marginatus, commonly called the dock bug, is a species of squash bug. It is a speckled brown insect with a broad abdomen, and is common in most parts of Europe. It is often found in dense vegetation, such as hedgerows and wasteland, where it mainly feeds on the leaves and seeds of docks and sorrels. When touched, a brown liquid is excreted that smells very bad and is very difficult to remove.
De zuringwants leeft in grote delen van Europa en is in de meeste streken niet zeldzaam. De habitat bestaat uit zonnige plaatsen want dit dier houdt van zonnen zodat ze sneller worden. Deze soort leeft in zowel bosranden en vochtige hooilanden als grasland met hier en daar dichtere begroeiing, maar ook in stadsparken en wegbermen wordt de zuringwants aangetroffen, meestal in de buurt van water. Bij verstoring wordt snel gereageerd op de trillingen en laat het dier zich vallen of vliegt weg. In bladstrooisel is het zeer goed gecamoufleerd. De zuringwants is een goede vlieger die 'vanuit stand' kan vliegen en niet eerst ergens op hoeft te klimmen. Bij aanraking wordt een bruine vloeistof afgescheiden die erg stinkt en moeilijk is te verwijderen.

The sun was out so I visited a place I have been wanting to explore for many years, the graving docks in Govan.
Its a real shame that this piece of Glasgows industrial heritage has been left to decay but at least its not been filled in for flats or a horrible museum building.
If you chose to explore the site then please be VERY careful. There are open pits, rusted handrails and rotten wood on the bridges so be warned.
My oldest son posing with two members of the M/V Algosteel while docked in South Chicago. We assisted the cook with running an errand on the "east side". The boys were kind enough to invite us aboard for a spell. I hope they're all happily retired now in Newfoundland. August 09, 2003.

The Docking Ring/Airlock on this build had to be built at a certain sizes in order to allow the boarding ramp on this build to open and close.
The Boarding ramp actually has a mechanism built into that was originally in the 2004 Millennium Falcon set. You pull the Airlock above the ramp out and the ramp would lower.

An ore dock is a large structure used for loading ore (typically from railway cars or ore jennies) onto ships, which then carry the ore to steelworks or to transshipment points. Most known ore docks were constructed near iron mines on the upper Great Lakes and served the lower Great Lakes. Ore docks still in existence are typically about 60 feet (18 m) wide, 80 feet (24 m) high, and vary from 900 feet (270 m) to 2,400 feet (730 m) in length. They are commonly constructed from wood, steel, reinforced concrete, or combinations of these materials.[1]
They are commonly used for loading bulk ore carriers with high mass, low-value ore, such as iron ore, in raw or taconite form.
