Random Tugs 138

Most if not all of these vessels have appeared here before, but bear with me because a surprise follows.

Gramma Lee T Moran,

Margaret  Moran, 

Brendan Turecamo, 

Ruby M with dredge Glenn Edwards in the distance,

Eric McAllister,

Emerald Coast going head-to-head–not really–with Red Hook,

Paul Andrew eastbound on the East River,

heading in the same direction about the same hour are Catherine Miller and

Susan Miller.  By the way, in the pic above here’s a close-up of that green sculpture almost dead center of the photo.

Ok, now we’re getting to the “different” part.  Note Maryland in December 2008 and

in early April 2015.

Ditto Baltic Sea in August 2009 and –gasp—

last year.  I concur with someone on FB who said it appears she’s been whitewashed with some trim made out of crude oil mixed with pulverized charcoal.  This is sad to see.

And these photos are from an ad that’s now over a year old.  I wonder if they changed hands . . .

Can anyone identify the other tug in the center of the photo below?

All photos except the last three by Will Van Dorp.
