Really Random Tugs 34

To close out April, here (and at the end of this post) a photo of Grouper in Lyons a few weeks ago before the Canal was brought up to level and opened for traffic.  Thanks to Bob Stopper.

How lucky can some people get!?@#!  Bowsprite caught this photo last fall as she was leaving New London harbor.  The tugboat is John P. Wronowski.

From Maraki, it’s Heidi eastbound past cow pastures and

fleetmate Rikki S westbound.

How’s this for an unnamed push boat . . . the one that moves

Martha Lewis when needed, and when no longer needed because the skipjack is under sail, just gets hauled up on davits.    I guess technically this prime mover is not a tugboat, she is a push boat.   Here’s a youtube of Martha Lewis getting trucked away, sans push boat, for repairs.  Anyone have updates on her getting into the water this season?  Click here (and scroll) for a photo of Silk, the push boat dedicated to skipjack Stanley Norman.

And from my visit to Chelsea Creek last week, here’s another shot of (for me) the unidentified small tug, and

in gloucester, it’s  Mikey D with Horizon looking over the stern.

Closing this post out, it’s looking eastbound across Grouper‘s bow.  I’ve said it for years and will say it again, I hope some one takes this project on.

 

Thanks to Bob, bowsprite, and Maraki for these photos of really random aka sundry set of tugboats.
