The Ohio River -- on it, in it, over it, beside it. No politics.

Seen on the Ohio
I had to go out yesterday, so I took my camera and got a few river shots of boats I saw.

The Mark S ex. Jayne Hougland is still a Nabrico beauty. I can remember when she came out. Nabrico ran adds in the Waterways Journal showing a nickel balanced on end on her stern kevel showing how vibration free and how smooth she ran!
It was in the middle of the two. I think the barges are called stumbos -- as long as jumbos and narrow as standards, about 26 feet wide each, I would guess.
Looks like its set up for a break coupling for the double locks. That's why there's opposites on both sides of the coupling. Got to give it to the hands for getting creative with the long single part alley wires run to the quarter bits.
I love the Ohio River. I enjoy reading about the river, smelling the river, photographing the river, listening to its sounds ... and we can share them here.

Where was that coupling located on that Campbell tow. Tow wire/backing wire!!! Looks weird to me.
