Equinox 5

Today’s a good day to return to this series I had going for a few years and now return to.  More Chrononauts in the next few days…

But first, this vessel bringing in my favorite celebratory drink.

The fabulous September weather has allowed this project to rush to completion.  Remember, tomorrow

in early afternoon she goes on a towline back to South Street Seaport through a portion of the sixth boro of this city made great thanks to shipping work and capital.  You can watch from along the KVK, from the Battery, or from South Street Seaport Museum.

The name paint is on the list of about a thousand “last” things to do before departure.

Also, enjoying the spectacular equinox weather, the crewman who becomes almost invisible in the bow

of this 1100′ box ship,  

tethered to James D. Moran.

More on Peking as she gets prepared for her home-going.  Doesn’t this look like a shipyard for the ages?
