Bronze 5

Here were 1 and 2, going back quite a few years.  Back then, I used to describe photos beneath them, instead of my current practice . . .  above.

So, below . ..  it’s a light Stephen-Scott, which way be the oldest vessel (1967) in the Reinauer Transportation Company fleet today.

Morgan Renauer (1981), here pushing RTC 101, was originally built for Poling Transportation.

Jason Reinauer (1968), up in Albany since last winter’s ice, dates from 1968.

Laurie Ann Reinauer (2009), dating from the first generation of facet tug construction, moves RTC 85.

B. Franklin Reinauer (2012) is the first of the second generation of facet tugs.  Click here for a Professional Mariner article on what a “facet tug” is.

Reinauer Twins (2011)–referenced in that PM article above–if compared with the photo above, shows design differences between the two facet tug generations.

Dean Reinauer (2013) is similar to Reinauer Twins and

Haggerty Girls (also 2013) resembles B. Franklin Reinauer.

 

Kristy Ann Reinauer (1962) either has been of will be scrapped.

 

All photos by Will Van Dorp, who accepts blame for any errors in information and who would love to see a launch at the Senesco yard, where many of these have had their first splash.
