Tow boat at Tulsa, Port of Catoosa in Oklahoma. I never knew that Tulsa was a port city till I got to visit the port.

 

Here's a good argument in favor of a larger boat when you're discussing it with the spouse -

Don't look down

 

TRPS Rock Art By The Bay 2013 poster by Alexandra Fischer

In my youth, I hauled oil field pipe loaded from a barge in the port of Catoosa to Houston to be inspected and xrayed. Loaded the pipe at the inspectors yard and taken it back to Catoosa. Now the yard next to the pipe yard in Catoosa was a pipe inspection service.

There had to be some government money involved, only the government would pay for something like that.

 

Back in the day at the Avalon and Fillmore Ballrooms they would make posters to advertise the shows. With your ticket, they would give you a small handbill of the poster.

 

Fruit crate art is good, too.

 

Yeah, it was some major Pork Barrel work initiated after WWII by United States Senators John McClellan of Arkansas and Robert S. Kerr of Oklahoma. They sponsored the bill that authorized construction of the waterway, which was to be maintained by the Army Corps of Engineers. The navigation system transformed the once-useless Arkansas River into a major transportation route and water source. Though it primarily follows the Arkansas River, it also utilizes portions of the Verdigris River in Oklahoma and the White River in Arkansas. It was completed in 1971 and dedicated by Richard Nixon.

 

Great poster art and crate art SamSam, I really enjoyed it.
