The Large and the Small

Montz, Louisiana

You can imagine how deep the Mississippi River is to have a ship of this size so close to land.
It is off-loading tanks for a local oil refinery.


other sizes: small medium original auto

And THAT'S NOT a supertanker !!!!!

I remember looking round a big oil tanker during a school trip when I was a kid. They really are huge. The smaller boat gives a nice sense of scale.

That little tug gives a perspective as to the huge size of the tanker ship. Great capture of these two boats. So why are the gas prices going up? :)

Wonderful contrasts!
Richard Cleaver09-Apr-2006 02:03
That is just awesome in size. I would love to see one

Very impressive (rather looks like it has run ashore though...)

Empty too it seems buy the way it's sitting up on the water.

Great capture!

Nice capture Coleen. I suppose the Corps at least does a good job of keeping the river dredged for shipping.
Lee Rudd08-Apr-2006 21:58
something to pick up as well; nice comparison

Nice shot, I didn't realise how industrialised the area is.
Guest 08-Apr-2006 20:23
well captured!
