Another Moran Towing shot of the quintessential tugboats, unadulterated by editing for all of your viewing pleasure. The subtly lit shot of the waterfront is a nice contrast to the shot below, which captures the vibrance of the Tsuru freighter from Nassau docked at the Granite State Minerals terminal for unloading in downtown Portsmouth earlier this week.
Here’s another classic tugboat shot on the Piscataqua River. I couldn’t resist the opportunity of the beautiful lighting and the calmness of the day as I walked up Bow Street, despite the frigid wind & temperature.
Sand being unloaded from a visiting freighter at the Granite State Minerals terminal along Portsmouth’s waterfront.
Another Freighter made its way into town to unload more salt onto the “White Mountains of Portsmouth”. I stopped to watch some of the action as the cranes on the waterfront unloaded some salt into new piles. The blur of the lights is from the movement of the crane, and you can see a faint remnant of some orange lights from the loader that was moving the salt around on the ground. I’ll put up a video later today that captured some of the action as it was happening.
The approach of Fall is signaled by the return of the freighters to Portsmouth’s working waterfront. Here the sand & salt piles are loaded onto the massive freighter as seen from the Granite State Minerals truck scale from the Market Street entrance. Today, I have adjusted the site’s settings – and from now on you will be able to click the image for a LARGE version!
