. .. that gray vessel on the Jersey side just north of the Outerbridge, we know what it is, and
that’s Vulcan III at its stern, but what is it doing in the Arthur Kill portion of the sixth boro? Just curious if anyone out there knows . . . Here and here are more sites on IX 514.
And this from l’amiga . . . Frances pushing north and Captain D pushing south . . .
kind of a reminder me of a Dr. Doolittle character . . . pushmi-pullyu . .
I hope a reader can clarify above vessel and procedure.
The first two fotos come compliments of Tony Acabono, and the last two by l’amiga, both of whom I’m grateful to for passing them along.
And to paraphrase the former vizier of defense, there are known unknowns and unknown unknowns . . . as in these two additional fotos from l’amiga.
I know this is Grey Shark, but will the trucks onboard come back? What if anything is in them? If they return, will they be empty?
Any answers to any questions would be quite satisfactory.

JED!
HA! THAT’S the HLT that was in Pensacola, towed to Kings Bay with the help of Army Tug MAJ GEN WINFIELD SCOTT and auctioned off. It sold for pennies as I recall. This will make GREAT conversation at work today!

I enjoy your articles, but just a little curious about where you take these marvelous pictures from. The other day, seemed like you were on the water..canoe or kayak..sometimes on a tugboat or another vessel. As a drydocked antique Chris Craft owner, I surely admire and ENJOY these pictures.
