Freshwater Tugs 5

Unlike the sixth boro waters, freshwater New York changes state.  As illustration, here is a color photo I took yesterday, and

below is roughly the same view (looking down from E-5 in the Flight) taken in late September 2016, almost five months ago.   What’s departing lock 4 was reported here.

But I digress.  Here’s what tenders look like in February.

And the long-suffering Chancellor, after the pool level has been lowered.

Floating and working, it’s the art deco tug Syracuse.   She has been working since December 1933!

And can you identify the vessel in the foreground?

Indeed, it’s the 1912-launched Grouper sustaining yet another season in Niflheim.

 

All photos taken by Will Van Dorp this week except the first one.
