At 0630 today . . . this vessel was still in Gravesend Bay, flanked by two tugboats. I recalled it’d been there for about two days.
As the tide turned, one assist tug switched out and others added.
Three hours later . . . it was Margaret Moran, Joan Turecamo, and Marion Moran . . . and
then Gramma Lee T Moran hooked into the bow, totaling over 16,000 hp if needed. Pretty World looked like a dead ship.
Towing stern first,
Gramma Lee T brought her into Upper Bay by noon and then on to GMD Bayonne. It looks like time to pop the hood on Pretty World.

Like a collection of border collies with a recalcitrant sheep! when big diesels loose their air and grow cold, it can take an act of God to start them again! If they get a hydrostatic lock, ah well???
