Muskegon's Mart Dock currently plays hosts to a few laid up vessels, notably the Paul H Townsend and the McKee Sons. The McKee Sons is actually no longer a motor vessel but an unpowered barge. My understanding is it was one of the first large vessels converted to a barge, with the stern modified to fit a tug. Nowadays, the pilot houses are usually removed. I'm not sure when the McKee Sons last sailed and if/when it will sail again.
In the foreground is the currently unused spur track off of the Michigan Shore. For years the Mart Dock was a steady customer for CSX and later MS, receiving newsprint by rail. The shipments stopped a few years ago, and the track hasn't seen much use since.

A couple of views around St Katharine Docks. As we walked around we tried to make a plan as the rain didn't seem to be easing.
The Dickens Inn caught our eye, but we'd already eaten. Maybe another time?

Canning Dock is a dock, on the River Mersey, England and part of the Port of Liverpool. It is situated in the southern dock system, connected to Salthouse Dock to the south and Canning Half Tide Dock to the west. The Canning Graving Docks are accessed from the dock.
The dock was opened in 1737 as a protected tidal basin providing an entrance to Old Dock. Having been subsequently enclosed as a wet dock three years earlier, in 1832 it was officially named after the Liverpool MP, George Canning. To the east is the site of Old Dock, built in 1709, this was the world first enclosed dock. Canning Dock would have initially served ships involved in the trans Atlantic slave trade.
Access to the northern half of the dock system was via Georges Dock, George's Basin and into Princes Dock. In 1899, both Georges Basin and George's Dock were filled in and the site is now the Pier Head.
Along with the Albert Dock and others in the immediate vicinity, Canning Dock was abandoned as a commercial shipping facility in 1972 due to the rising cost of dredging and falling numbers in traffic. It was restored in the 1980s and provides access to the Canning Graving Docks, which are part of the Merseyside Maritime Museum.
By March 2009 work was completed on a £22 million extension of the Leeds and Liverpool Canal, providing a further 1.4 miles of navigable waterway.
From Princes Dock, the extension passes the Pier Head and terminates at Canning Dock. The extension includes a small basin at Mann Island, in the vicinity of the Pier Head, and a new lock providing access to Canning Dock.
I took the idea for this image from this PHOTO from my good Friend Marco Peixoto who is a master in B&W and is the one who got me his old DSLR cheap and taught me the basics about Photography.
This a Ferry docking with one of our most famous Landmark on the background, the Monument to the Discoveries (I really don't know who this landmark is know abroad). Cheers everyone.

Bryggen (the dock), also known as Tyskebryggen (Norwegian: [ˈtyskəˌbryɡːn̩], the German dock), is a series of Hanseatic commercial buildings lining the eastern side of the Vågen harbour in Bergen, Norway. Bryggen has since 1979 been on the UNESCO list for World Cultural Heritage sites.
The city of Bergen was founded around 1070 within the original boundaries of Tyskebryggen. Around 1350 a Kontor of the Hanseatic League was established there, and Tyskebryggen became the centre of the Hanseatic commercial activities in Norway. Today, Bryggen houses museums, shops, restaurants and pubs.
Bergen was established before 1070 AD.[1] [Later] "in the Middle Ages, Bryggen encompassed all buildings between the road Stretet (Øvregaten) and the ocean from Holmen in the North, to Vågsbunnen in the South".[2] Within this area, the city was founded, according to the Sagas, says encyclopedia Store Norske Leksikon.[2]
One of the earliest pier constructions has been dated to around 1100, says Store Norske Leksikon.[2]
The existing buildings are of a much later date. "Only Schøtstuene and the buildings towards Julehuset [part of Holmedalsgården], are originals from 1702", according to guide Thomas De Ridder.[3]
Around 1350 an office of the Hanseatic League was established there.[1][4] As the town developed into an important trading centre, the wharfs were improved. The buildings of Bryggen were gradually taken over by the Hanseatic merchants. The warehouses were filled with goods, particularly stockfish from northern Norway, and cereal from Europe.
In 1702, the buildings belonging to the Hanseatic League were damaged by fire.[5] They were rebuilt, and some of these were later demolished, and some were destroyed by fire.[5] In 1754, the operations of the office at Bryggen, ended "when all the properties were transferred to Norwegian citizens".[2]
Throughout history, Bergen has experienced many fires, since, traditionally, most houses were made from wood. This was also the case for Bryggen, and as of today, around a quarter dates back to the time after 1702, when the older wharfside warehouses and administrative buildings burned down. The rest predominantly consists of younger structures, although there are some stone cellars that date back to the 15th century.
Parts of Bryggen were destroyed in a fire in 1955. A thirteen-year archaeological excavation followed, revealing the day-to-day runic inscriptions known as the Bryggen inscriptions.[6] The Bryggen museum was built in 1976 on part of the site cleared by the fire.
Bryggen was listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1979, by Criterion (iii): Bryggen bears the traces of social organization and illustrates the use of space in a quarter of Hanseatic merchants that dates back to the 14th century. It is a type of northern “fondaco”, unequalled in the world, where the structures have remained within the cityscape and perpetuate the memory of one of the oldest large trading ports of Northern Europe.

An image of (part) of the warehouse at the Stanley Dock, Liverpool, UK.
Apart from anything else, I thought I'd visit here for a historical point of view, the building is starting to be redeveloped into several hundred apartments as part of a larger development of the whole Stanley Dock site. The plans involve hollowing out the centre of the warehouse to create a garden-filled courtyard.
It's hard to get a scale of the building, it's super massive big!!, the building it's self is the Stanley Dock Tobacco Warehouse, is a grade II listed building and is the world's largest brick warehouse. Standing 125 feet (38 m) high, the building was, at the time of its construction in 1901, claimed to be the world's largest building in terms of area. The 14 storey building spans across 36 acres (150,000 m2) and its construction used 27 million bricks, 30,000 panes of glass and 8,000 tons of steel!
I used to see this when travelling to Southport by train to visit some of my uni mates, and was always amazed by it, but had never visited it until the other week (It was too bright on that occasion for photography), so made a return visit today. I'm glad it has a future, and a new lease of life, it's going to take some converting though, mainly due to the sheer size and scale of the building :)

Built 1935-1937 by PRR and designed by Waddell & Hardesty as part of the elevated Newark Penn Station, the Dock Bridge at the Passaic River consists of two 230 foot lift spans with the west span placed in service in March 1935 when the headhouse and three western tracks were opened (being the largest lift span at the time). A second (east) span was added in 1937 with two tracks for the H&M (PATH) rapid transit rail line and an eastbound PRR track.

To add some more creativity to my phorographs I have now started to use a ND filter that prevents light from coming into the lens, and opens for longer exposure in the bright daylight. Yeah!
