@mattblaze@federate.social the full size image definitely rewards inspection! That huge grab for instance (presumably for unloading coal) and what I presume are enormous electrical bus bars running from the lower centre off to the right.
The resolution is incredible, wasn’t expecting to be able to clearly read the Plimsoll line markings on the barges in front. It seems the “Lemon Creek” in a previous life as a sewage barge had a run in with a tanker carrying molasses in 1991 - you can guess which spilt cargo.
