Lots of images you can try to identify today, but I’ll hold any further info until tomorrow.
First . . . this vessel will be visible and will be an interesting subject of photographs from many points along the Hudson next month, February. Clue: Note the hull color.
Unrelated to the top foto . . . any guesses about this and
and this from the same vessel and
this from the same fleet? Both vessels are occasional visitors in the sixth boro.
And finally . . . from a secret salt, a foto easy to identify. My question in whether there’s any news about this incident.
You’ll have some answers tomorrow.
Finally . . . here are some of my favorite ice pics on the Hudson taken a few years back by Paul Strubeck.
And here’s hat’s off to my Canadian cousins . . . if case you missed this late addition to yesterday’s post.

I’ll guess the top photo is the USS Slater, due to depart Albany to be drydocked at Caddell’s in February. (Hint – note the ready ammunition locker with the tell tale sun-shielded lid and quick(er) release hold downs outside the port, as well as the jackstaff on the foc’sle.) No clue about the two engine rooms, although kudos to the engineers for their state of maintenance. Nice looking pair of 567’s in the second and third shots.

I’d say the 2nd and 3rd photos are from the Gateway Towing tug Navigator (ex. Texaco Fuel Chief).
