Thanks. Big ships come up and down the Mississippi River all of the time. One of the biggest ports nationwide, by weight, is in the River Parishes where I live. It transports grain and steel. That's right, steel. Bayou steel is a steel refinery right in my town of LaPlace.

Thanks, I waited for the ship to get in just the right position for me to take this.

I did email my son about the tribute. Now, perhaps I should email him a copy of the tribute. Pay tribute to people while they are alive. It will be too late when they or you are not.
