Barge : bärj : [noun] : a flat-bottomed boat for carrying freight, typically on canals and rivers, either under its own power or towed by another.

Huge,

that’s one word to describe this freight barge,

I guessed 100′ in breadth,

the US Coast Guard registry says it is 124′,

281′ in length and 22 feet deep, she carries a net cargo load of 19.3 kilotons.

:  :  :

Built in 1982,

she hails out of Seattle and is owned locally,

currently tied up dockside on the Duwamish River

in the industrial area of south Seattle.

The contrasting colors of the black hull,

the orange deck and the fluid looking draping of the turquoise blue mooring ropes

caught my eye.
