Diving the Harris Barge

We descend into the murky depths of the Columbia, a world cloaked in twilight. A man-made behemoth lies dormant on the riverbed. The barge, a ghost of industry, its once proud form now a haven for riverine life. We explore its skeletal frame, a labyrinth of steel and rust. Fish dart through the corridors it once carried cargo. Sunlight, filtered through the river’s surface, paints ethereal patterns on the hull. Here, in this underwater metropolis, history and nature intertwine. The barge, a silent sentinel of time, reveals secrets of a bygone era. With each discovery, our respect for the river and its inhabitants deepens. This is not merely exploration; it is a pilgrimage to understand the river’s soul.
