Random Tugs 3

Ruby M, towing a cement barge (cropped out) here, seems from out-of-town. I’ve seen her and sister Allie B only once each. Help me identify the fleet and I’ll post a foto of Allie B.

Niz Gisclair hails from Louisiana. Fred aka “tug44” has good pix here.

 

Quenames, pushing oil eastbound on KVK here, is another I’ve seen only once and have no info on. Anyone help identify?

And here’s another Millers Launch pushtug, Shawn Miller. More info here.

 

In the distance off the stern, that’s Hoffman Island, an artificial island named for a former governor.  Suppose in 2107 there’ll be new artificial islands out here?
