Here’s my response to bowsprite’s post on Albany-bound ships . . . she drew a TEN tanker called Afrodite, but when I came looking–more on that later–I saw only Apollon, not necessarily Albany bound.
I saw MOL Encore, again bound for Asia.
I found Maersk Memphis . . . until very recently Maersk Kwangyang.
I noticed C. Angelo passing Explorer of the Seas.
I noticed workers walking the cables of the
VZ Bridge . . . .
Then I had obligations and headed over to Staten Island and caught Dalian Express passing Maemi II.
I was there when Hanjin Nagoya headed underneath the Bayonne Bridge, as did a pack
of Moran boats . . . .
And only later did I find Mischief–S/V Mischief, or I think that’s her, sailed by Harry and John. But that’s when I found . . . if not more mischief then misfortune.
the Bayonne Bridge walkway/bikeway . . . is now closed!! I wish they’d put up a re-opening date . . . 8/5/15? 8/5/16? Until then, there’ll be no more fotos like the last seven here.
All fotos today by Will Van Dorp.

The closing of the Bayonne Bridge’s cantilevered sidwalk is the Worst possible News Yet! If Othmar Ammann wanted the Bayonne Bridge to be any higher surely he would have built it higher. It’s high enough, New larger
container ships can utilize the Global Container Terminal in JC, or Red Hook.
It’s going to cost way over a Billion Dollars, just to create a handful of sincures for Stevedores. Thanks for sharing, this really bad news.

I just want to say great shot of Maersk Memphis and Dalian Express. It is not often a Hapag Lloyd vessels passes through KvK.
