April 22, 2011 - Traffic at the Port of Oakland

Living next to the Port of Oakland offers some interesting viewings of commercial and private boat traffic. These tankers are the most amazing of all. They are literally floating cities! They seem to be about 2 city blocks long and carry thousands of containers. The logistics for parking and loading/unloading are fascinating. Combined with the sailboats, the ferry system, the tugs, dredgers and paddle boarders, there is always a plethora of activity. Can't forget the amusing pelicans, gulls, grebes, coots, herons and other wildlife common here. But these are pics of the container ship.
