It’s referred to now as Left Coast Lifter, I Lift NY, Ichabod Crane, and others. But I call it arrived and on a glorious if frigid morning.
Touchdown!!
And Lauren Foss is the clear MVP.
Bravo to all the crews and people behind the crews!
All fotos by Will Van Dorp. More soon.
Here and here she was at the southernmost arc of the voyage.

… and I want to thank you for two years of sharing your obses—um, passion—for this mighty crane as you stalk—er, monitored—her track through Panama, arriving in SF, working in SF, and departing SF…and now, here she is!
So, when are we going to go watch her? xo c!

Reblogged this on Kaleidoscope Eyes and commented:
Will Van Dorp, professor at Union County College in New Jersey, met the I Lift NY this very cold morning as it arrived from the West Coast at our very own Port Jersey Facility – The Port Authority of New York and New Jersey – escorted by tug boats Lauren Foss and Iver Foss. Docking at a private facility in Jersey City, it will stay put until it comes north to the Tappan Zee Bridge this spring.
