Here’s Random Tugs 66. The foto of Quenames in the Gowanus comes thanks to Vladimir Brezina, the bow of whose vessel intrudes ever so slightly into the bottom of the foto.
Eddie R of Interport Towing and Transportation steams through the harbor with 1 WTC in the background. More 1 WTC views soon. Eddie R‘s fleet sibling Lucinda Smith is here.
Maryland . . . northbound toward 1 WTC.
Red Hook Grain Terminal in the background, Christine M. McAllister pushes Reinauer RTC 502.
Elk River exits the east end of the KVK, with white cranes in the background at Global Terminal.
Torm Anne gets ushered in by Gramma Lee T Moran.
Ross Sea pushes a deep-loaded barge. In the distance, a small portion of the Brooklyn Army Terminal.
Farther upriver Patty Nolan finds herself alone at the dock surrounded by a thin layer of ice that
in the brackish water over in Newark Bay would not form. That’s Port Elizabeth to the northeast.
Last shot: a nameless pusher tug on the high and dry at an undisclosed location north of the Tappan Zee aka (but rarely) Malcolm Wilson Bridge.
All fotos by Will Van Dorp, except of course the one by Vladimir.

Love this ‘nameless pusher tug’. There are a number of these little guys around. From the VHF I get the impression that at least a couple of them are owned by Miller Launch. Anyway, I love them. They look like floating refrigerator boxes.

As a sad update, I went to a memorial service for Vlad last Saturday. The positive portion of that is learning how much of an inspiration Vlad lives on to be: https://windagainstcurrent.com/2016/12/16/goodbye-vlad/
