Wiggle

This floor of the workhouse had corkscrew conveyors–big augers–in the floor to move material around. Most of the walls that were metal were missing, leaving the concrete structure and open doors.

Looking up at the LEMP malting plant elevator. Look at that BRICKWORK!

A control panel that was mothballed, anticipating a time when the plant may be reactivated.

This is a great example of a combination rock house; the silos below used to fill trains with ore dropped from mine cars pulled to the top of the structure.

The gauges on left of frame are the steam pressure indicators for the various steam-powered components around the ship, like the steering engine and windlass motors. Below the gauges are a case of tiny wooden parts drawers… note the ancient oiling can on the locker near the upper-right corner of the frame.

The ‘working’ part of the furnaces are about a story above ground level, so the catwalks snake above the tree line.

And I forget just why I taste / Oh yeah, I guess it makes me smile / I found it hard, it’s hard to find / Oh well, whatever, never mind (Nirvana, “Smells Like Teen Spirit”)

The neon lighthouse, seen from the top of one of the silos.

I’ll remember the neon glow fondly.
