An email from Harold yesterday prompts this post now, starting with this foto he sent me. It’s Dong Fang Ocean. Any associations? A two-word clue is Bligh Reef.
Earlier Harold had sent me fotos of some tugboats operated by South Puerto Rico Towing, ones I missed entirely last week, ones like Mr. Frankie P (ex-El Condor Grande)
seen here again alongside Don Oscar P (ex-Miss Mackenzie and Sea Wolf).
Much newer (newest?) in the South PR Towing fleet is Hector P. I like the paint scheme.
McAllister also keeps some boats in PR, including one I’ve never seen, Brooklyn McAllister (ex-Brooks K. McAllister). But I’ve got to return there if I want to see them.
Back to Dong Fang Ocean . . . here’s the source and the identification. We know it from its notoriety 22 years ago yesterday. Thanks much, Harold, for catching some important things I miss.
I hope to get out on the sixth boro today . . . it seems like I’ve been away for ages.
