Tug Syracuse

First, thanks to Andrea of I love upstate New York for use of this photo of the Oswego Harborfest fireworks.

The tug visible though is NOT Syracuse.  It’s Nash, which I’ve previously written about here.  Syracuse is somewhere in the darkness beyond Nash.

The fireworks barges would not have been in position without Syracuse, here seen at launch over 80 years ago.

Today she’s just a tug, not an antique vessel.  She just works;  she doesn’t demonstrate working.

New York colors as seen in darkness and

rain.

Notie the logo on the t-shirt of the gentleman to the left . . .the same company that does the Macy’s July 4 show!!

And on the lighthouse . . . a local expression of thanks.

Again, thanks to Andrea for use of that top photo;  all others by Will Van Dorp.
