Along the Duwamish River

in the industrial district of south Seattle,

a barge belonging to Spectral Crane and Marine,

sits resting on the bottom of the river at low tide.

She is steel hulled, 288 feet long, 94 feet breadth, and 20 feet deep,

and carries a cargo load of 1,282 kilotons.

The draping effect of the tow chains

hanging from the deck and their reflections

were pleasing to my eye.
