    The STURGIS, which was the world’s first floating nuclear power plant, is towed from the Galveston shipping channel into open water Tuesday morning September 25, 2018 as it heads toward Brownsville, Texas for final shipbreaking and recycling. The vessel is being towed from Galveston where it has undergone radiological decommissioning that included the safe removal of all components of its deactivated nuclear reactor and all associated radioactive waste that was formerly onboard.

    A large black-hulled vessel belonging to the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers is docked at a concrete pier or wharf. The ship dominates the frame in a wide panoramic shot, with its bow facing the right side of the image. The overcast sky and waterfront setting suggest an active or inactive military/government maritime facility.
    A person wearing a white hard hat and green long-sleeve shirt is photographing a large industrial control panel filled with numerous analog gauges and meters. The control panel appears to be from a power plant, factory, or similar industrial facility, featuring rows of circular dial instruments with blue label tags. The room is dimly lit, with the illuminated control panel serving as the primary light source.
    A large black-hulled vessel, likely a barge or tanker, is being maneuvered in a harbor or waterway under overcast, stormy conditions. Two red tugboats are positioned on either side of the vessel, assisting with its movement. The scene is captured from a dock or quay, with a rubber fender visible in the foreground.
    A large dark-hulled U.S. Army Corps of Engineers vessel is docked at a waterfront pier in rainy, overcast conditions. A tugboat with a yellow hull is positioned nearby in the water, likely assisting with maneuvering operations. The scene appears to be an active working port or shipyard.
