Veery quick post while I recuperate from doing what I do to pay the rent, lights, orange juice habit. Thanks to Allen Baker, identify the year in the foto below. The place . . . unless I’m way off is the Moran Yard on the KVK. What year is this?
Historically I’ve called these “relief posts,” but with homage to the CarGuys, Click and Clack, I might rename this the Puzzler or TugPuzzler or SixBoro Puzzler. Any suggestions? Answer soon.
Also, a perturbed bowsprite told me yesterday that ads appear on my blog . . . and hers . . and others? I’ve never seen them. If you’ve seen ads–like for TV shows!!@#@! –please let me know. I never put linked or added or sold out to them. We just cannot have a perturbed bowsprite . . . or unauthorized ads.
Cheers. Thanks, Allen . . and bon voyage.

I use Firefox with Ad Block Plus and wouldn’t see ads if they were there… No guess as to the year in the photo.

I actually like that my ads are dredging ads. Mention ‘bowsprite’ and get 10% off that clamshell or bucket.

Yes, I noticed an ad yesterday but didn’t think anything of it. No ads today. No year either.

1970? M. Moran built 1963 – Wooden ladders, not aluminum – no tires as bumpers – Can you enlarge the background to see the details of the cars in the parking lot?

one or both of the tugs behind M MORAN are Moran’s short lived Dravo boats either MARGARET MORAN and/or MARIE S MORAN. Built in 1961 they were sold to McAllister in 1963 so….
MARGARET MORAN is now BRIAN A McALLISTER and MARIE S MORAN still sails on the Delaware as TERESA McALLISTER.

I thought WordPress didn’t allow ads on their blogs.

when I inquired about the ads on my blog, I received from WordPress:
“We sometimes display ads to people who are not logged in, see here for more info: http://en.support.wordpress.com/no-ads/”
So! you can PAY to keep your blog ad-free. Fair enough, but they really should let you know and not be surreptitious.
