I’ve done posts with titles like 15 minutes or 18 . . . but here’s a set shot in just three minutes, just after that strange cloud–comet’s tail?–passed the day the temps went up to 65 midday for a few hours, setting a NYC record for that day.
Here’s Jonathan C from head-on, with Shooters Island off the stern.
Zooming out shows Pegasus and Kimberly Poling using Edwin A. Poling, and the cranes at Howland Hook.
It looks like some refinishing is happening on Pegasus.

That church in a lot of photos is Immaculate Heart in Elizabeth NJ.

Before 1904, Worthington’s foundry was in Elizabeth, near the Singer Sewing Machine Company.
Castings were barged to Worthington’s Red Hook shops, avoiding costly land, and rail shipments.

Thx WS. Back when I worked in Elizabeth, I’d sometimes steal away for walks along the Singer plant, once said to be the largest factory in the world in terms of people employed. During WW2, they switched production from fine-geared sewing machines to guns.

That Singer plant was enormous and imposing. And think of all the work it provided. I used to walk along it in ‘Port (Elizabethport) as well.

That’s actually St. Patrick’s Church, in the now-combined parish of Immaculate Heart and St. Patrick’s. I worked there in the summer of 1977, and stayed with the nuns in the convent, until the priest found out.
