Crane barges at sunset. The barges are used to transport everything from containers to building materials around Hong Kong's harbour.

On the way back down I had a closer look. It's from 2007, and about the pottery industry along the Caldon canal. It lists Spode, Moorcroft, Wedgewood, Doulton. At the top right is a steel flange to represent water from the local rivers (there are stone waves carved inside its opening). At the bottom, left to right, are: a number of teapotsâthe products; depictions of enormous kilns; a rope knot representing the transportation of these products by gentle, jostle-free canal boats, or #barges.
If ever there was an infection control risk, this is one.
I might add it looks like a fire trap.
If the government is looking for solutions to the hotel asylum costs, they should look at actually making the existing system work, and that costs money which is currently being spaffed on hotels
Total incompetence, again.

I'm certain my father-in-law will heartily approve - 'they're lucky they're being housed anywhere' will be his take.
Then again, he's in favour of the #death_penalty as "long-term it's far less of a tax burden than feeding people for life & giving them SkyTV".

Suddenly there's some activity from this incompetent extremist Govt. #Barges for #migrants, yes you've heard it before, but it excites extremist #bigots. #Amnesty condemns it, we need to reform the asylum system. Could it be the Tories sense an election? https://tinyurl.com/35j96t5e

One of the wonderful things of this study is that Yardeni Vorst has analysed nearly all wood from the #Zwammerdam #barges using not only #dendrochronology, but also focussing on #wood #technology. The full analyses of nearly all the #wood made it possible to discern patterns that would not be possible with limited sampling. (2/6)
#zwammerdam #barges #dendrochronology #wood #technology
Yes! New #openaccess #researchpaper out! This paper is the result of a long-time cooperation between Yardeni Vorst and me. In the paper we analyse the wood from #Roman #ships or #barges to determine the provenance of the wood and determine patterns in the use of wood for shipbuilding. We used various methods for this purpose, we combined #archaeology with #dendrochronology, #spatialanalysis #rstats and #networks

This is fine.
âIn 2022, water levels in some of the worldâs largest rivers, including the #Rhine in Europe and the #Yangtze in China, fell to historically low levels. The #MississippiRiver fell so low in Memphis, Tennessee, in mid-October that #barges were unable to floatâ
