Here’s the whole series. The different colors in the pile reflect trace minerals from different global sources.
Anyhow, the latest salt ship came in yesterday at sunrise. I’d come to my spot early in hopes there would be enough light when TTM Dragon arrived , but I was wrong.
James D. Moran worked the bow as the line boat stood by.
Pilot on the bridge wing calls the shots, and
when the signal is given, mooring lines are ferried to
shore and looped over the bollard.
When it’s all fast, James D. and Margaret Moran prepare for the next job.

I shudder to see all that salt! The highway depts. out here in the Northwest have just this year begun using it on the State highways and already the rust is showing on the vehicles. I thought I was quit of that when I moved West after 40 years in NY/NJ. Salt belongs in the Oceans!
