Uh-Oh Barge

A dark red barge with a big M in a black circle and the name "New Hampshire" on the bow seems to be slowly sinking in the river. It's the first time I've seen hands on deck... and it looks like they're working hoses for the bilge pump. The front of the barge is sitting nicely on the water, but slowly, slowly, as you follow her stripe back towards the stern, it disappears under the water After the tower, the rest of the barge is simply gone.

I wonder if this is the same barge that was tethered last night. I think so. And I wonder why there aren't any little tugs down there pulling her into a dock. It might be neighborly.
