Really Random Tugs 12

Guess this tug?  This and alternate fotos here are taken by Seth Tane.  Answer follows.

Joan Turecamo (1980 and one of the last tugs built at Matton in Cohoes)in the foreground.  Guess the one in the distance?

Natoma . .  1976.

Vessel in the distance earlier was Susan Miller, 1981.  I’m guessing the barge is loaded with riprap for shoreline protection somewhere in Raritan Bay.  I wonder about the origin of those rockaceous chunks.

Craig Foss was launched in June 1945 as LT-648 by Tampa Marine, one of over 700 tugs operated by the US Army at the end of WW II.  For a foto of a Tampa hull, click here.

Peering over crane barge Delaware Bay, it’s Caitlin Ann, 1961.

It’s Shaver’s 1981-built Portland.  For a foto of a 1947 ship-assist tug Portland, click here.

And finally . .  a tug with a tent passing a clock with no hands, it’s Miriam Moran (1979).
