Before dawn the day of the race, daily port activities carried on: Atlantic Niyala awaited load shift in Red Hook.
Celebrity Summit arrived from sea for some port time here assisted by Kimberly Turecamo (?).
Scott Turecamo awaited some rehab
at Caddell’s.
As passengers debarked to starboard, equipment received attention to port. I’m not sure what all is happening over on the port side here.
Up at the Manhattan passenger terminal Veendam received Tuckahoe attention to port as well as passengers transferred from ship to island.

There’s a lot of activity at the NYC sanitation pier Gansevoort Street: they’re
dredging with a clamshell dredge bucket, making room for the 30″ spectra high pressure gas pipeline coming across the Hudson from Hoboken
There was a tug: fire engine red wood superstructure, and black hull, the name was stenciled on the life preservers, i just couldn’t see that stenciled name.

On the port side of CELEBRITY SUMMIT, they were conducting in port Lifeboat & Emergency Evacuation Drills. Notice the blue chute leading down to the two red raft-like structures in the water. I believe that the passengers go down the evacuation chute to the red rafts, and then board the waiting boats from there. Similar to the emrgency evacuation chutes on aircraft http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/americas/7543983.stm. Found something for cruise ships & ferries http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SUcCBQKrB_0, http://www.travelpulse.com/msc-cruises-divina-to-feature-inflatable-emergency-slides.html#, http://imistorage.blob.core.windows.net/imidocs/9340p006.pdf
