This photo reminded me how close I was able to get to the ships in Miami back in the 1980s. It probably helped that I was in my
early teens, dragging my mother along behind me (some vacation), and didn't look like much of a threat. By 1992 access to the docks
was closed off and, not coincidentally, my Miami photos end just before that.
