Random Tugs 163

I considered calling this “random vessels,” since I haven’t used that title in a while, but here is a tighter focus for a few days:  tugboats.  Here I also randomize the backgrounds and seek out some vessels infrequently seen.  Like the rare and exotic  Shelby Rose and

Jay Michael and Vicki M and

Patricia with her racing stripes up against the gantry arms.

Wye River and James E. Brown here cross the south end of Newark Bay, where

Sandmaster has been tied up for (?) nearly a year now.

Sassafras did a circle in Erie Basin recently, and

 

Thomas, the Weeks tug, strode into town, picked up a barge and headed straight for Texas!  The first time I saw Thomas was January 2009.  Remember what memorable event splashed into the Hudson around the middle of that month?

 

Buchanan 12 here is light and seen from almost her prop wash.  I hadn’t noticed the Boston registry before.

Quantico Creek stays local a lot, but Severn I don’t see much.

Here’s Tangier Island behind . .  yes, Gerardi’s Farmers Market. 

 

OK . . . that’s it for today.  All photos by Will Van Dorp.  More random tugs tomorrow.
