Default Remnants

Yes, that's a bucket board, there were several there, and partials. That was the only line left, which was probably cut. But they had used new line from the spools to secure her lately and those are obviously still on board. I wasn't there to witness the procedure, only the aftermath. I think it worth noting that a gentleman whose name I didn't get who worked at the coal facility there was most helpful and informative whenever we visited. While he had no prior connection to the MQ, you could see his interest develop by just having her tied up by his business, and by witnessing many of us making the pilgrimage there to look, ponder, and photograph these past 10 months.
