In the sixth boro Queens come and go, shipping and schlepping all sorts of cargo.
a Queen from Claremont Terminal to Port Newark.
This Queen carries bulk,
probably scrap metal, and hails from Viet Nam.
As she turns into the KVK, Tai Bai Hai, a very rusty bulker from Tianjian, China, escorted by Ron G and Resolute slips astern.
And still farther along, Vinalines Queen streams past GLDD dredge Florida.
The last three fotos comes compliments of John Watson; all others by Will Van Dorp.
By the way, Alice is said to have slipped into Brooklyn last night, Mardi Gras, under cover of darkness, but I have had no visual contact.

Here’s a very sad postscript to this vessel, almost new when she passed through the sixth boro: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MV_Vinalines_Queen i later heard from a family member of one of the crew asking to use the photos. Here’s how that postscript started . . . see comments: https://tugster.wordpress.com/2012/01/05/retrospective-2/

She was carrying nickel ore, sometimes called the most dangerous cargo. Here’s some explanation: https://www.bimco.org/Education/Seascapes/Questions_of_shipping/2014_03_07_Why_is_nickel_ore_so_hazardous.aspx
