I’ve written here and here about bow puddings, and some of those have since seen the shears. Little Bear is a delightful small tug (1952 launched and under 50′ loa) that you might expect to show some pudding, but
the new fur on the block (or in the boro) is Resolute, who wins as the new James Garfield or Rutherford B. Hayes of the sixth boro, from a hirsute perspective.
If Little Bear‘s namesake lived in the frozen north, then
Resolute has taken over her protection,
leaving the small red tug bare and possibly sunburnt.
Is Resolute predicting a cold winter? Maybe we’ll be back on the ice soon?
Seriously, I love the Little Bear‘s lines and color as well as Resolute‘s puddening.

Silly!
Those are for working the Cruise Liners.
You should see the mess the emergency service tugs made of ‘Splendor’ with their nasty black unshielded fenders. (See MYFOX.com/video)

Those fenders would only be good alongside a cruise ship if covered by canvas.
Was she one of the Providence Steamboat acquisitions?
