Here was Highway, the first. As I approach the end of my sixth year doing this blog, I’m looking to recycle/update some titles.
Many thanks to L’amica dalla torre . . . , here are fotos of Margot just after having rounded the Battery on Tuesday. Previous fotos of Margot can be seen here and here.
Margot‘s payload is a Metso paper machine . . . although I’m not entirely sure what its function is.
Here between the leaves still on trees after a leaf-stripping hurricane and piled up snow . . . Margot passes the mouth of the Morris Canal, to the left of the clock. Note that red crewboat over closer to the mouth?
Here’s a closerup foto. I can guess ownership from the shade of red, but . . . anyone know the name?
All fotos but the last one thanks to L’amica.

It’s a former USCG 41 foot UTB – Search and Rescue vessel. They were the standard SAR vessel at many CG stations thru out the country. Being replaced by the 45 ft. RB-M [ Response Boat - Medium ]. Show photo to any former CG BoatswainMate they will confirm.
