First, thanks to Joseph Chomicz . . . it’s Rebel and Dolphin over by the Philadelphia Navy Yard . . .
Quo vadis, Rebel?
And the second batch comes from Ingrid Staats with likely the most unusual backstory ever on this blog . . . Ingrid took the photos from a room in New York-Presbyterian Hospital, where her healthy baby was born. She writes, “We had an amazing view of the East River and for four days as Mom & babe recuperated. I amused myself by capturing as many tugs as possible.” Congratulations to all and here they are:
Sea Lion above moving recyclables and and Evelyn Cutler pushing petroleum product.
TJ and Catherine Miller . . . and is TJ really doing all the work here?
And finally . . . Navigator light and Gulf Enterprise pushing a petroleum barge westbound.
Many thanks to Joseph and Ingrid for these photos. And I’m happy to hear that one of the next generation of tugboat watchers has been born.

One of my earliest memories. Say 1956. We lived at First and 67th in Manhattan. I was three, my brother was four. My parents were taking us on a walk along the East River. We saw a tug. We waved. The tug cut across up close and someone on board waved back.
