Tugs Along the Road

The first and last fotos today come from Tom Mann, who–in spite of the port listed on this vessel’s stern–took them along the Cape Cod Canal less than a week ago.  Justice . . . launched in 2009 by Martinac Shipbuilding . . . is one vessel I’ve NOT yet seen in the sixth boro, not that I see even most things or ever claimed to.

Hoss and Carolina I saw in the Elizabeth River  in South Norfolk;  they are ex-Chauncey 1962 and ex-Amy M, Robert P Jr, Bay Star 1958, respectively.

Here the Intracoastal Marine site.

ICM crews were moving a deckbarge at Jordan Bridge.

Great Point (2002) waited at the pier in Crisfield, MD with

this load;  I imagined it pushing with housing away.

Knock Ha Shee, built by Higgins in 1954 as a US Army coastal freighter (ex-Morgan, Edgerton) is now USCG-classified as a towing vessel.

Is this a pushboat or a motorized barge?

Yes, seeing John P. Brown (2002) pushing an oversize Colgate box, that means we’re back in the sixth boro

But thanks to the fotos from Tom Mann, I can overshoot . . . here’s Justice traversing the Cape Cod Canal.

Thanks, Tom.  All the “middle fotos” by Will Van Dorp.
