Hi Stein,
I like the rework on the barge. The triangular gussets area nice touch. I think its great you are consulting historical phtoos from the Twin cities area as inspiration. As for color I found a photo of what is probably a more contemporary St. Paul area barge but it has similar enough lines to yours. Seems to be a red oxide color. Whatever color you chose rust and grime will be certainly add to the patina!
