Random Tugs 101

From a moving vantage point in the center of the Upper Bay, I look south and see Shawn Miller pushing a deck barge to facilitate some trucking on the sixth boro.

To the north, it’s Gabby L Miller crossing with 1WTC in the background.  At Blue Friday plus

80 days (i.e., 80 days since that day after Thanksgiving Atlantic Salvor brought antenna segments into the harbor), this is what the top of 1WTC looks like.

The new Curtis Reinauer lay at anchorage.  Here are a few shots of the old Curtis . . . now working in West African waters.

Joan Turecamo, one of the last upstate NY Matton-built vessels, heads to Gowanus Bay.

Finally . . . it’s Rae, moving a recycling scow probably back to Newtown Creek.   Rae’s my age!.

Unrelated:  Here’s a foto and article from today’s NYTimes about dead ship Triumph.  The caption mentions that USCG tugs are towing the vessel into Mobile.  Predictably, the alleged tugs are not identified.  For info on the tugs, click here.
