Rusted tug boat

An old rusted tug boat sits on a trailer above the waters of Alliford Bay. The old boat appears to be retired after a long, hard working life of collecting logs from the log sort yard into log booms in the bay. Moresby Island, Haida Gwaii, BC.

With this photo we move from the Pacific coast of South America to the Pacific coast of North America, at a fairly similar latitude. Both locations share a sparsely populated, forested, mountainous geography with many fjords and few roads.

    It looks like this old tug boat deserved its retirement! Look forward to seeing your photos from maybe the same latitude, but VERY different longitude! At least this will be closer to home for you...

    What a great find and super capture. It's a bit sad that it couldn't have been renovated before it was too far gone. Rust is so photogenic. Yes, you're right Terry, it's going to take a LOT of rain to ever get Lake Powell back to the levels it was when we were there last - several years ago.
