I went for a walk late in the day, and while photographing the power plant from some distance away, a man came out from behind a gate next to me to talk about how beautiful the plant is. There has been a marine salvage yard hidden behind a fence for at least 20 years. I always wondered what was in there. Turns out, the man who spoke to me was the owner, and is a really friendly guy and we talked about the history of the waterfront. He invited me inside, and this was the first thing I saw. It is a sculpture he bought down in Florida and he shipped it up here, where it sits in his yard. He called it "The Salvage Princess." I am glad he let me photograph it. He also invited me back to take more photographs at another time. What's better than that!

Wonderful that you had an opportunity to meet the owner and view this. I am sure you will return more than once.
