I would have to second Jed’s view that it is a Buchanan boat and specifically Buchanan 12 somewhere on the Hudson. If you go to their site (www.buchananmarinelp.com) you see on the home page an aerial photo of what appears to be the 12 with a 3×4 set of barges. Based on the freight train in the background along the edge of the river, I would say that photo is also of the Hudson.

My guess is a Buchanan boat somewhere off Stoney Point.
