    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.

    The STURGIS is towed from the Galveston pier to the shipping channel September 25, 2018 as it heads toward Brownsville, Texas for final shipbreaking and recycling. Over the past three years in Galveston, Texas, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers has been implementing the challenging and complex efforts to decommission the MH-1A — the deactivated nuclear reactor that was onboard the STURGIS vessel.
