October 30: Watch Zidell launch newest barge

October 29, 2008 by Dave 3 Comments

Zidell Marine Corporation is launching its newest barge Thursday at 11:30am.  From Southwaterfront.com:

Zidell has been working hard – night and day – preparing their most recent barge for launch.  And we have just learned when they will be launching this barge….

When: Thursday October 30th – 11:30am – 12:30pm

Where: Zidell Marine Corp – South Waterfront

Be sure to come by and check this out – it only happens once a year and it’s pretty spectacular to see the barge slip into the water for the first time.

Zidell is not letting anyone on the premises. But you can see it from the other side of the river, Ross Island Bridge, or from the large buildings in South Waterfront.

    THIs is what I get for being in meetings all morning! 🙁

    I’ve watched them build it, and now it’s gone. Alas, alack.

    I saw it. I have video. I don’t have my flippin camera cord to download until I get home. I should REALLY learn to be more prepared to slack off at work.
