Random Ships 39

Here’s the index to the previous posts in this series.

Self-unloaders are not unheard of in the sixth boro;  in fact, some of my favorite vessels like here, here, and here . . . I’ve followed them.  Here’s a link to the Oldendorff site showing how the self-unloaders work.    Rt Hon Paul E. Martin is named for this politician from our neighbors to the north.

Traveling through those same waters . . . MSC Monica.

A few days before the Martin, Ultra Colonsay was replenishing the pile at Atlantic Salt.

Other vessels calling in the sixth boro recently include Vladimir,

Sypress escorted by Marie J. Turecamo, 

Atlantic Compass passing by Joyce D. Brown, leaving an ominous sky to the west

and finally Torino.  This photo was taken by regular contributor John “Jed” Jedrlinic, who–in addition to being a great raconteur, took

a photo of this ne’er do weel.

Besides the two photos by Jed, all photos were taken by Will Van Dorp.
