Recall the BOLO post? Well, today out of the fog she arrived, albeit with an errand to run upriver first.
After a six-week run from Shanghai, of which about five days has been northbound from Colon, Panama, she checked into the Ambrose Channel this afternoon.
Dangling anchor means she’ll probably anchor before proceeding.
Unless I’m proven to have a fake story here, in the next few weeks we’ll see
Peking lose her restlessness and
float onto this long cargo deck.

I think I passed her. I know I have seen a ship like this before.
So you know here transit dates?
What is she transporting?

So she was in Europe most of 2016.
I’m trying to remember where we saw her (or her sister) since she is so distinctive, I remember we debated what she was for quite a while.
Maybe I should use this opportunity to organize my 5,000+ photos, a thousand of which are of working boats.
