Something a little different. The next few posts are of tugs Miss Niz,
Pops and Baltic Dawn (left to right) moving several hundred feet of
pipe, an air compressor and a barge with derrick through the Cape Cod
Canal on December 25, 2015 in preparation for routine dredging of the
Cape Cod Canal in January 2016. The pipe will be used to transport the
dredging spoils from the dredge vessel to shore at the Town of
Sagamore's Town Neck beach which has been eroded by storms and not
replenished with sand due to the presence of breakwaters at the canal's
eastern end.


A nice group Bob, you must have liked seeing these come through the Canal!

Thanks Paul. When I got to the canal they were about 2 miles away and it
took awhile to figure out what was going on. I enjoyed the opportunity to
shoot something a bit unusual.
