Government Boats 19

The first two fotos here come compliments of Lou Rosenberg, who probably wondered when I was going to use them.  Sorry, Lou.  Gelberman, named for a former NYACE District Chief of Ops, has appeared here and elsewhere on this blog previously.

Lou took this foto, as well as the one above, in Jamaica Bay.  Sea Horse aka WPB-87361 calls Portsmouth, VA home.

Here USACE Hayward churns its way eastbound on the KVK.

A Coast Guard RBM got close and personal last weekend on a breezy Upper Bay.

Sturgeon Bay seems eager for ice-breaking season to begin.

Kittery, ME-based  USCG vessel WMEC-909 Campbell cruises out the harbor a month or so back.

Final foto . .. a new vessel at GMD Bayonne is named for a Medal of Honor recipient, whose itinerant life is described here.  T-AK  3005 must have arrived within the past week.

Thanks again to Lou Rosenberg for the fotos from Jamaica Bay, a section of the sixth boro that somewhat neglected on this blog.
