Its probably tiny compared the biggest container ships in the world, but this one looked like a massive floating building up close. It was moored just next to the Canada Malt factory where there is also a modern port facility. Train tracks in the foreground suggested some kind of connection, although I think the tall gantry cranes were off loading onto trucks on the opposite side. In the distance, on the left middle, you can see a sliver of the Cartier Bridge which gives a sense of space and direction. There were several fences between me and the scene, but I used artistic license to remove them. Like I wrote earlier, there are endless scenes here in the Malt Factory/Port area around the Peel basin, its surprising more artists don't come here to sketch or paint. As usual, I replaced the name of the shipping company with my initials and year.
