Keep Out, Keep Out

Stories abound about the removal of the Memorial Bridge in Portsmouth, New Hampshire.  Some say the eerie waters of the Piscatagua River are a marine grave.  Submarines were repaired nearly.  Netting around Peirce Island used to keep Russian Subs away from the Naval Shipyard.  The netting is still awkwardly in place.

The arched bridge above carries travelers to and from Maine.  Memorial Bridge was just in front of it.

This river cries to be left alone.  It didn't didn't the Navy there to begin with.  And, it doesn't want more destruction to the marine habitat.  This past week, a tug boat capsized trying to remove supports for the removed bridge from under the sea. The bridge was removed this past winter. Please take a look:

The seas has a memory.  It wants to be left alone.  Forever.  So it wasn't surprising that the tugboat was claimed.  Even when it began to list, no one could save it.  A tugboat couldn't upright it. Even divers and salvage crews couldn't surface the boat.  More attempts will be made today. 

What is most interesting about this process is the energies lying below the river.

KEEP OUT.  KEEP OUT.
