Small Craft 10

Here were previous installments.

And below are a set of small craft I’ve seen in the sixth boro and further environs so far this month . . . .

The colors look familiar here, but

This one I have noticed before . . .

Wolf River used to be everywhere in the harbor until it got shipped–literally–to some far distant

dredge projects, like this one on Guanabara Bay in summer 2013.

The KVK is not the regular route of pilot boat Yankee.

Now here is the small craft that could and DID . . .

and got a presidential letter for it. Click here for more Long Island boat building traditions.

Dobrin . . . is a 65′ Swiftships-built survey vessel.

Click here and here for other Swiftships vessels that have appeared on this blog.  Swiftships have also supplied vessels for the reconstruction of the Iraqi coastal navy.

Can anyone identify the manufacturer of NYSB-3.  I’m guessing this is one of several identical vessels in the USACE NY District fleet?

And here’s a clue . . . Vane Brothers currently has a crew boat in the harbor!  Christian was formerly owned by Kirby, K-Sea, and others.

And to end where we started but we a quite different attitude . . . given the tender carried over the stern.  I don’t know this boat.

Let me postscript in another closer-up photo . . .showing a Rhode Island registry . . .
