I’ve never been to St. John, but Justin Zizes has recently on a voyage from the sixth boro, and he sent along these photos, ones that give a snapshot of one moment on a track into port. The pilot boat meeting the ship was Capt. A. G. Soppitt.
Atlantic Spruce is Canadian built.
Some other Atlantic Towing Limited (hardly limited!!) vessels at the base: From right to left: Atlantic Bear, Spitfire III, Atlantic Beaver, and Atlantic Hemlock.
Again, thanks to Justin for these photos. And let me reiterate that I’m really happy about the collaboration on tugster these days, especially these days that I’m busy like crazy with an endeavor I don’t want to talk about yet. It’s good. I’d be interested in a series of ports to which vessels sail from the sixth boro, as is the case with St. John.

Will,
A. G. Soppitt looks like a Seahaven Marine (Cork, IRE) built ship. I will try to send you a video for the blog.

Afrodite used to visit The Port of St John weekly with Bakken Crude.
Now Afrodite is in Europe.
