Random Ships 50

Oleander has to be the most regular ship coming into the sixth boro.  Put it this way:  if it’s Thursday, Oleander will arrive from Bermuda, the B in BCL.

Ever Diamond seems basically to shuttle between eastern Asia and eastern US.

Some day I should see how many of the 10 Ever Dainty-class of Evergreen Marine container ships I have photos of in the sixth boro.

IMHO, vessels like Anthem of the Seas are most interesting under some unusual light, like dawn here last week.

I lamented the fact there were no dancers in the glass ball.

 

MV Loujiane Loujaine is part of GBX, serving, I gather, as both bulk storage of cementitious material and movie set.

Has anyone ever seen photos of Loujaine, ex-Abu-Loujaine, ex-Bahma . . . arriving in the sixth boro?  She must have arrived here at some point in the 1990s, by the photo comments here.

Over in Walkabout Bay in the spot where Alice often discharges, Pagona was working the other day.

Rounding out the post, it’s the vessel everyone in NYC should be familiar with, especially her being in proximity to the bridge she nearly brought down.  Recognize her?

It’s Chemical Pioneer.   During the decade I’ve been watching she’s been a hardworking vessel, but

here’s the NTSB report.  Click here for one of her ITB fleet mates, now scrapped.
