It ain't an iceberg!!! Evil or Very Mad

could be a giant alien ship, though.

Was out there for a bit yesterday, and didn't see anything but the usual ships anchored up.

Not sure exactly of what you're talking about but we saw a very interesting vessel when we were returning to shore from the CC Fishing offshore trip. My understanding is that it was a maintenance vessel that essentially acted as a sea-based dry-dock. The ship pulls in and then is hoisted up and out of the water.

I'm trying to find some pictures to post here.

i always thought it to be something used to service oil drilling platforms or something oil related.

I was out at the Triple Rig 6 Miles out from the Port A jetties on friday and saturday and could see but never went that direction. I what you were seeing is the giant structure straight off the end of the jetties it is a hell of alot bigger then the repair vessal shown in the picture. It looks to me like one of those transfer stations for the tankers that run to deep to come into port in this area. My 2 cents.
