Porthole 2

Porthole v. portlight difference?  See if this helps.  Know this location?

It’s Quester, the legendary “yellow submarine” in Coney Island Creek, which I traveled up with tide/current taxi a few summers back.

Below is the ruins of PC-1264, one of two World War 2-era subchasers disintegrating in a scrapyard in Staten Island.  Learn more about it in our documentary Graves of Arthur Kill.  Here are some stills I took while we were filming.

ATR-89 –built 1944– is also in the documentary.

This vessel dates from 1950 and has been restored to not only working but also

yacht-like status.

These fotos will serve as teasers until

I get that post together about the tour vessel concierge Nan gave me.

Here’s a post I did a year and a half ago about a tugboat still working on the Hudson that lost its forward portlights.  The second foto above (yes, that’s me) was taken by Marie Lorenz.  All others by Will Van Dorp.
