Blue Marlin at Vigor Shipyard, Swan Island on the Willamette River
We trawlered by this morning for a look at the ship & drydock atop it, that thing is huge. They had to dock diagonally on the ship to make it fit. There was no extra room on the deck. The CG announced they were going to anchor it down river a bit for the night & "undock" it early tomorrow. There is a Navy merchant marine lift ship docked just upriver at the shipyard called the John Glenn. It looks about 2/3rds the size of the Blue Marlin
