Bronze 6

Another day I went out and lots of Reinauer boats were around, like Gracie M., which I’d not seen up close.  Launched in the second half of 2016, she’s the fourth of their Twins series and the newest vessel in  the fleet.   Here’s the first Twins post I did and here’s another where she appears.

Curtis has slightly less hp than Gracie M and follows the B. Franklin line.  

Christian came by;  at 7200 hp  and dimensions of 118′ x 40′, she’s a big boat.

Here’s Christian in profile.

Zachery is one of the oldest in the fleet, built at Matton up near the Canal, and formerly a Mobil tug.

Now that we have a few different classes already in this post, you can see that Dean, like Gracie M, follows the Twins class.

B. Franklin, mentioned earlier, spawned Curtis, so to speak.

And here’s another slightly different angle on Gracie M. 

The photo below I took in Auguast 2006.  Subtle differences are visible in the background, like the color of the cranes over in Erie Basin.  The slightly different shade of bronze and red may be due to the fact that I used a different camera.
