Beaufort Sea (ex-Corsair, 1971, 105 loa x 32′) with DBL 101. Can anyone identify the tallest building on the skyline there? I can’t.
Emily C. Cheramie (2000, 90′ x 28′ ) with Unloader No. 2.
Despite a stiff tailwind, a Buchanan tug (12?) heads southbound toward Yonkers with six or nine stone scows barely making headway against the flood.
Catherine Turecamo (ex-Gulf Tempest, 1972, 99′ x 30′) approaches while Endeavor (2007, 964′ x 91′) and Ellen McAllister (1966, 102′ x 29′) recede. Ellen seems shorter than 102′ . . . although I’m not sure why I think so. Click here and scroll for a foto of the Bayonne Bridge under construction. See MOL history here.
Amy C. McAllister (ex-Jane A. Bouchard, 1975, 91′ x 30′) with B. No. 231 approaching the Brooklyn and Manhattan Bridges.
Morgan Reinauer (ex-Exxon Garden State, 1981, 119′ x 34′) passing an outbound Maersk Denpasar (exactly the same dimensions as MOL Endeavor but launched in 2003). Denpasar is the capital of the Indonesian province of Bali.
Susan E. Witte (a classic looking from 2004, 55′ x 17′) strides into the Kills.
Maurania III (also 2004, 101′ x 33′) escorts a tanker while Linda Moran (2008, 116′ x 36′) passes on the far side.
Unrelated question: You will no doubt remember the fiasco of Mobro 4000‘s 6000-mile journey towed by Break of Dawn, built 1982. Does anyone have a recent foto of Break of Dawn?

It depends on what you consider the tallest building on the skyline. The classy old brick building on the left is 310 Riverside Drive, between 103rd and 104th Streets. The flashy all-glass building in the center, which appears to be taller though further back, is 2628 Broadway, between 99th and 100th Streets.

Oh, yeah…both are apartment buildings: on Riverside it’s the Master Building, built in 1929; on Broadway, it’s the Ariel, under construction and nearly finished.
