Little toot surely! And what might she be dragging along? Answer at end of the post.
A new sighting for me . . . Kathleen (1975).
Jill Reinauer (ex-Ranger 1967).
Amy C McAllister (ex-Jane A. Bouchard, 1975) with Ellen (1966) and MOL Innovation (1996) in the background.
Choptank (2006). And what is that dour yellow in the background?
Evening Tide (1970).
Another shot of Ellen escorting in MOL Innovation. MOL vessels are named for great abstract qualities like Vigor, Vision, Confidence, and –as seen here a little over a week ago–Efficiency. I’m wondering why the single-deep stack of containers occupies the starboard sternmost corner.
Lil Toot is Tommy Miller dragging in Lady Ashley of Cliffside Park. I’ve no clue about the make or vintage of Lady Ashley, but I suppose it’s impolite to ask a lady her age.

It’s possible that single stack is “Up and Out” cargo. Certain cargo MUST be loaded on the outside row, on deck, preferably at the rear, so that if there is an issue, it can be dumped!
I have a good friend who wrote software dealing with the shipping of HIGHLY toxic chemicals, which is how I learned about “Up and out” cargo. It seems a lot of the gases used in chip fabrication are “up and out”

Lady Ashley is a Hatteras.
Built in New Bern, North Carolina.
Hard to tell exactly from the photo, but I would guess she
is a 58′ Hatteras from the early 1980’s.

A good chance this is the same boat:

I’m cranky about folks who enclose, then enclose, then decide something else needs enclosing until one has a towering pile of fiberglass and canvas. Then again, I live in San Diego which usually has sunshine.
