The last in the series includes the short video below and
focuses on some of the folks in the harbor this quite windy Monday morning, including McAllister Brothers and
Sea Knights (thanks Jed for pointing out they weren’t Chinooks) as well as
a Schweizer-300 carrying an intrepid photojournalist and fine pilot.
RB-S boats were hither and
and yon.
Waterfront Commission police have a boat named Rev. John M. Corridan, the priest featured in On the Waterfront!!
Here’s a closer shot of the NYFD units set up at 130th Street in Manhattan.
Once LPD-21 was secured on the south side of Pier 88,
the local Navy League Council distributed bags of delicious grub to those employed either public or
private. The Navy League seems to have an impressive mission.
Once Sturgeon Bay was secured back at home port, time for . . . shore power!!

Not Chinooks (H-47s), they belong to the ARMY
These appear to be USN or USMC CH-46 Sea Knights, note only ONE forward tire, 47’s have two. USMC CH-46 callsign’s are usually WOMBAT.
It’s worth pointing out that the MV-22 Tilt-Rotor Osprey was designed to replace the 46’s as their design (46s) is Vietnam era.
I’m guessing that these are USMC as the NAVY birds usually have a large amount of black paint on the tails to mask engine exhaust stains.

Again, more shots from the right place at the right time. All those boats sure did churn up the water tho. Or was it windy?
