First time getting so see one of these style boats up close in operation.  It's be on dock with us last two days, they specialize in pushing barges in ares where there's very little space under the bridges h nice their low profile. The entire wheel house is on hydraulics and can rise and lower in a minute or two. Really long though. Anyhow these look pretty similar to the canal boats I see pushing around y'all's neck of the woods so fired y'all would find it neat as well 🙂

Blooming eck Wolfie. The boats , at least on the canals over here, come in multiples of 10 otherwise they could not be navigated through our canal system. There are no Mississippi’s over here. Don’t know about the likes of the Thames where I imagine there are some big fellas. Jok.
