Easy does it, tugs!  This used or new freighter threaded its way through the tight confines of the Chicago River in this 1953 photo.  Might be an ore ship.  I did this puzzle.  Cool sight for those who witnessed this happening that day.

Freighter, a long ways off ...

No landing craft thread on our forum, and maybe not enough interest to start one, but I've always been fascinated by these vessels that are the 'car ferries' for islands or outposts too small to be served by something bigger.
This TSB inquiry refers to the wreck of the Lasqueti Daughters in 2015, and the rather jarring deficiencies in construction and operation that led to her loss. Thankfully, no lives were lost.
