Sunset at Nichols Brothers Boat Builders!

 Here is the scene earlier in the day: the boatyard has finished the superstructure of a ferry boat, and it needs to be moved across the road and onto a barge to go be matched up with it's bottom part. Above, you can just see the bow peeking out from between the two buildings, the ramp, the barge, and a crane barge.

 After a few hours, I went back to see what progress had been made. They had moved the ferry all the way to the edge of the barge, and appeared to be stopped there.

 I was able to walk down the beach and get closer.

Here is an even closer look - now you can see some of the workers welding away, and showing just how huge this thing is!
