Water Fountain

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.

Brewery Creek Waterfall, somewhere above Duluth. Lit with candles and a small LED panel. To me, it looked like a pipe pouring molten metal.

Shuttered windows on the side of one of the collapsing bonded warehouses.

A heavy steel device locks the anchor up.

The Blacksmith Shop (right) was connected to the Bunk House (left) via this narrow walkway. This is likely due to the fire risk in each building. The left building had a cooking stove and furnace for heat and the right building had a small industrial furnace to repair mining equipment. A little walkway would mean that a fire on one side would be easier to fight from the other.

A shuttered house at the end of the block doesn’t even have boards on it anymore.

This is the former air compressor house–one of them, at least–which turned steam power into air power to drive machinery across the production line.

Through a section of the tailings boom where mountain winds tore open the sheet metal around the conveyor, I poked my head out.
