I look forward to opening this blog every day. It’s just like the local paper, only paperless. With my own two eyes I can see the upper Hudson.. the Julio Verne, the demise of the Binghamton, the the Rairoad Barge Lift rebuilding Piers 108, or 109…
Unfortunately, i haven’t cycled the Harbor Loop in a while.. a Ford Van’s door gave me some mortality, although i got back on the horse, i really have to be much more careful, too many people are counting on me to ‘help’ them daily
Thank you for sharing….
wss

That is one of the cool aspects of taking ship pictures.

It was nice meeting you in Detroit and heres to a new Year full of ships…

MORAN. See photo in TOWLINE Magazine Attachment. http://www.morantug.com/pdf/2010_Issue_63_Towline.pdf http://www.tugboatinformation.com/tug.cfm?id=1421. This tug had a very interesting career including the war years. More can be found on her by checking the archived TOWLINE Magazines at this link: http://www.morantug.com/publications_archive.asp With that being sad, A Very Happy, Healthy, Safe, & Prosperous New Year

My understanding is that she was built as the Edmund J. Moran, and tales of her were featured in Eugene F. Moran’s book, “Tugboat.” The Edmund had some hair-raising incidents in WWII, when she was the pride of the Moran fleet. She was designed from the keel up as an ocean tug, with significant (at the time) habitability enhancements. She performed an ocean rescue or two, and there’s a painting out there somewhere showing her on scene with a cripple in some fairly nasty weather getting ready to connect the tow. Many thanks for the pic.
