Thursday Trio:
Such a beautiful early evening! Out walking along the Savannah River before a jazz concert at the New Marriott Plant Riverside.
The horn of a tugboat, no two, announce another massive boat, better container ship was making its way up the river towards the port.
The ship deck laden with towering stacks of shipping containers slowly lumbered into sight. They are actually moving faster than seems possible. As the moments speed pass, an optical illusion occurs before us. The bow elastically stretched farther from sight before the stern section snapped into view.
The tug along side gently guiding so the container ship would not hit the Talamage Bridge (It has happened before, that’s why we have this beautiful bridge.)
Tourists and Savannahians alike line the river walk waving and signaling wildly for the ship to sound a loud blast on the maritime horn. Yes, I too put my iPhone away to say “Hi” to the wary sailors wait to set their feet on solid ground. It is always a joy when the crew greets Savannah with waves!
High up on the rear the ship three crew workers took in the view, waving happily.
