Waterford Tugboat Roundup 2015 a

Click here for posts from lots of other years.  In today’s post, you’ll see almost all blue-and-gold before the parade, i.e., heading for the muster

entering the top of lock 2

It was great to have two covered barges for events.

Lehigh Valley 79, dry dock repairs complete, heads for the sixth boro this week. 

Urger exits the low side of lock 2 and  . . .

 

enters the Hudson.

Note the Waterford wall with the covered barges in the distance.

The federal lock at Troy leads into the rest of the Hudson . . .

 

 

 

After the dignitaries are picked up,

the flotilla heads back north into the Troy lock,

and

the parade has begun.
