Bridges 3

This gateway to the sixth boro dazzles at dawn, with out traffic or with.

Know this ship?  You saw this funnel before in a foggy October post as well as in a sunny September post in the past twelve months.

Here are the specs for the 12-year-old vessel going under the almost 50-year-old bridge.

In the distance, that’s the Newark Bay Bridge, located  north of Ports Elizabeth and Newark.

Inbound . . .

outbound, and

closely monitored.

All fotos by Will Van Dorp, who finally watched Saturday Night Fever for the first time, because of the bridges scenes.  It turned out to be a much better movie than this non-discoing blogger ever imagined.  See it if you haven’t, for a throwback to Bay Ridge (mostly)  back in 1977 . . . which started with a president named Ford , new computers were Commodore PETs and Apple IIs, and the Concorde started to fly to NYC.
