Sometimes, when everyone is closing up and you just want to get out.
If you creep into a place you shouldn't be, without a doubt.
You will see the giant water beasts.
The ones that bring you supplies and feasts.
They lay dormant, waiting to be loaded.
Some float silently, as they become more corroded.
For now I will photograph them before they sail away,
Returning again, on another fine day.

Thank you!

Yes! I spent all of last Friday doing research on what the fuck that thing is.

It's a SWATH type vessel. This one, unlike the fully rigged ones, doesn't have engines or a platform or anything. This one was built and launched originally in 1998, I believe and then moved from the Atlantic coast somewhere to here in about 2004/2005. It's not been there that long, it's been moving around. The company who owns it doesn't own the shipyard it's moored at, so they seem to move it when rent for it gets too high or something (that part is kind of a guess, they might have had it dry docked for a while).

But currently they want to turn it into something, but really...they'd like someone to buy it. Problem is, without it being outfitted for anything it's just a huge floating platform that no one can afford. Like I said, totally lacks engines.

I love the reflections, and the behemoth in the first picture is fantastic. If only there was a way to get on it...

Thanks, y'all. That pontoon vessel definitely had me baffled for a while.
