Here are the earlier posts in this series.
And for today, see this screen grab from Coen brothers Ladykillers, a fun movie I thought for an otherwise uninspired evening. That’s a tug towing a garbage barge under a bridge supposedly in a southern state. A good half dozen bodies get tossed onto the garbage as that tow reappears a half dozen times in the movie. So here’s the question . . . what tug is that?
And I’ll get you the answer–my best guess, at least, tomorrow.

Regarding the mark after the A in ANDREA, this same company had a towboat named JEAN’ PIERRE CENAC. Someone (not me) questioned the owner about the location of the mark. He said it was his boat and he could put it anywhere he damn well pleased. So, I think the answer to your question is that is doesn’t mean anything where it is located.

Well, it’s McAllister and I don’t know that they towed garbage other than in New York. Could be the Brian McAllister, or the McAllister brothers.

It could only be the Helen, right? It’s not the Roderick.

Hi Daniel . . . but it’s a model filmed in LA. It COULD be a model of Helen, but it’s still a model. Have you seen the movie? It’s fun.
