Working On The River

Yesterday we drove by the Louisiana Circle to see if any towboats were coming and saw this one getting ready to make the turn in the bend of the Mississippi River.

This towboat was headed north while another towboat was headed south up the river.  I noticed that it held close to the Louisiana side and could not swing out because of the towboat at top and another towboat coming down that was out-of-site.

This towboat looks like it was towing a working barge.

Notice a little tugboat coming from the Yazoo Diversion Canal which leads to the Port of Vicksburg.  Diamond Jacks Casino in the foreground.
