Walking on the dock of the bay...

As we were walking along the wharf last weekend in San Diego, we came upon the remains of the Norton Sound, a ship that was the unfortunate casualty of an intense fire.
The fire occurred on Sept 29 (as copied from the UT paper):
... "a massive fire that tore through a docked commercial fishing and research ship near Seaport Village Friday, posing a challenging daylong firefight for emergency personnel unable to safely brave the furnace-like innards of the burning vessel."
I had my camera so took some photos. Also grabbed a few other photos that caught my fancy.

Nice shots. Someone posted a picture of that about a month ago. I wonder how much longer it will remain there.

Jerry - Thanks for taking the time to look and comment.
I didn't realize the burned (burnt?) ship was even there 'til we happened upon it. I wonder how much of it is salvageable...
