Good golly . . . what hangs there? Find a color clue in the lower left corner as to ownership of the crane, …
Why . . . it’s Miss Holly aka these days as Paul Andrew. If you click the Paul Andrew link, check Sarah Ann. And if you own a crane like this, who needs a dry dock to lift a vessel into the high and dry?
Paul Andrew (ex-Miss Holly) built in 1968, 63′ x 23′ x 8 draft and 2400 hp. Anyone
have fotos of
Miss Holly hanging around?
Sorry, but I couldn’t resist. Nor could I resist listening to Little Richard Miss Holly . . . er something.
Top three fotos (taken in March 2008) taken by Mr Bill Benson of Hydrographic Surveys. Thanks much, Bill. The last two, by Will Van Dorp.
Unrelated: A peak moment in 2009 for me was seeing Onrust lowered from a crane into the Mohawk for its very first float event.

I’ve got older images of the “Miss Holly” from the days I worked on her back in the mid 80’s.
I probably learned more about tugboating on this tug than any other tug I have ever sailed in.
We went everywhere with her…
