Morning in Point Pleasant, Part 4 (the end)

 So after the M/V Charles T. Jones disappeared up the Kanawha, I walked around the Point Pleasant riverfront getting pictures of some things. I was about to leave when I saw some empty barges coming out of the Kanawha. I figured I'd wait and get some pictures, and guess who was pushing them.





As I watched the Dan Elder push its barges up the Ohio, I glanced back upriver and saw two tanker barges rounding a bend. My time at Point Pleasant would be extended for one more boat.

It was the M/V Catlettsburg of Marathon Petroleum.





And that wraps it up except for one more picture. I was joined for a few seconds by a curious local.


That's all for now.



Morning in Point Pleasant, Part 3

I was so focused on the M/V Dan Elder that I hadn't noticed the M/V Charles T. Jones had come up behind it.





If you look in the third picture, you can see the M/V Elizabeth Ann. Here are a few pics of it, too.




And there is one more set of boat pics I need to deal with before the account of this morning is done.
