Yearly Maintenance on the USS Midway

All museum ships must be maintained below the waterline.
Due to the currents in San Diego Bay, barnacles and other marine life attach themselves to the hull.
The only way to remove them is by hand using these diving barges.

Great shot and composition, how still the water is. Not the average day at an office.

an excellent image, so wisely composed...picking off barnacles by hand from that huge hull must be like sweeping a driveway with a toothbrush..
