The longsighted bowsprite managed to record these fotos just before the holidays. Neither of us had seen the towed vessel behind June K before. Before looking at the rest of the fotos, any ideas of its identity?
Of course some of you know it, but I was still befogged until I did some hunting and learned that
the sixth boro has long been inhabited by a floating hospital. I’ve written about such a vessel I’d seen a whole lifetime ago when I worked as a Peace Corps volunteer in Congo (then-Zaire), but
in New York? But here and here are some links about this institution. I’d love to hear more about NYCFH.
Did anyone besides bowsprite catch June K‘s tow? Where upstream has it come to rest?
All fotos by bowspite–uhh , make that bowsprite. A million apologies.

I really like that second shot, with all the gray and the clock in the distance.
Very Nice.

The floating hopitial is in the Roundout creek at Feeney’s boat yard . The local paper said that they are going to turn it into a studio

I saw the hopital ship at e-port just above plaza fuel back in Nov. Dec. I wonder if she used to be some kind of excursion vssel in her past life, or was she purpose built?
