Not Your Normal Barges
Not Your Normal Barges on the river, most of the ones I see carry coal, or farm goods like corn. A couple on this river have barges of a different kind. Lots of gadgets and signs that say warning.
The two below are named Deborah and Corey. As I was doing some research on tug boats, I found out that shipspotting is a hobby for many people. I get that, because I do love being by the water and seeing ships and boats go by and finding out more about them and what they are hauling.
There are websites that track every ship on all the waters. Very interesting stuff.

My wife becomes an avid shipwatcher while we are down along the Texas Gulf Coast. She likes using the MarineTraffic phone app to figure out what huge tankers and liners are passing through the Galveston and Port Aransas channels.
Yes, that is a great app. I do that also.
Interesting!
The size of some of these barges amazes me. I see them working in the Detroit River and they are huge operations with cranes moving pylons.
Being near a large river we see large barge configurations often, but never intimate portraits of them. Thanks.
You are very welcome Brad, I do like being by the rivers, I kind of miss the old Mississippi, but we always stop there when passing through.
Great pictures.
Gwen.

That’s super cool! We love shipspotting too!
It is fun, so many different kinds out there. 😊

I agree that it’s fascinating to track ships. We were recently on a cruise from Montreal to Boston and as we sailed around Nova Scotia, I noticed a large freighter. I checked three days ago and it was docked in Portugal!
That must have been a fun cruise and beautiful views, I have never been on a cruise, yet. Yes, it is interesting to see where they are from and where they are going.
