Random Pretty Scenes

See it there on AIS between Samuel Newhouse and Grave Grace Victoria?  Pretty Scene . . . and I missed getting a foto of it!!  I also recently missed getting fotos of potentially pretty scenes–or mediocre pics of vessels with interesting names like African Jaguar, Afrodite, and Great Reward.

Given that “pretty” is as subjective as the ocean is wide, you can judge whether you find these random scenes at all pretty.   Can you guess the tug to the right?

Try this . . . the pair of Brown family  boats with a couple of Weeks crane barges, or

G. B. Corrado by day at the salt pile where the Weeks crane barges  transfer the cargo and

by darkness at the same location passing a large MSC Sindy, 

a McAllister tug escorting out a RORO, or

a Dann Marine tug backing into a dock to pivot in place a bunker barge, or

a Moran tug putting power on the stern of a container ship?

I think they’re pretty scenes all.   And that tug up on the drydock in the first foto . . . Marjorie B. McAllister.

Here’s another from Erie Shipping News . . . Yankee has arrived in Erie for her makeover.   Here is the last time this same Yankee–the 1976 tugboat–has appeared in this blog.
