An abandoned barge And tugboat partially sunk caught my eye on my way back from visiting Playa Balandra in La Paz, Mexico. The sun had just started setting creating a beautiful orange on the barge. Thankfully I had my camera with me. I stopped and ran down to it and took as many photos as I could in the short time I had left. I wanted to go inside but because it was getting so dark and I didn’t have a flashlight with me I just focused on the exterior of it.

The large rusted barge adjacent to a partially sunk tugboat looked really interesting. It was a very unusual sight for sure. I wanted to learn more about their history and how they ended up there. I reached its history and could not find another photo of it anywhere online. Nor could I find it mentioned in any English or Spanish news.

There was a half-sunken tugboat next to it, I assume that tugboat was the one that was pulling that ship when they both sunk.

There were also a couple of men on it fishing when I was there taking photos. I wanted to go on it and explore it some more but because it was getting dark and I was so unfamiliar with it I felt it would be too unsafe to do that.

I really like the 5th photo.
