OK . . . I fail here. Which Moran and which McAllister are those in the Sunday morning chop?
Quick post: Shelby 1978.
Evening Tide 1970.
Jay Michael 1980 doing a re-enactment of my December 15, 2012 post here (scroll to third foto).
Long time no see . . . Superior Service 1981.
North Sea 1982.
Laura K. Moran 2008.
Resolute 1975 and Discovery Coast 2012.
All fotos taken in April by Will Van Dorp, who’s feeling it’s significant that so many of these are stern shots . . . i.e., I’m struggling to keep up today.

Also interesting to note that these two tugs were formerly owned by the Interstate Oil Transport Co., Sonat Marine Corp., & Maritrans Operating Partners LP as TRAVELLER & CHALLENGER respectively. They are working here together in a different capacity, doing a ship docking assignment, instead of moving oil barges.
