It’s always a joy to be under way on the Hudson. Enjoy these shots from last week.
Stephanie Dann passes a chimney of what may once have been an ice house.

With the Rip Van Winkle Bridge in the background, Sapphire Coast approaches pushing Cement Transporter 1801.
Near Catskill she passes Coral Coast with another cement barge.
And here my first time to see the rebranded Kristin Poling, moving Eva Leigh Cutler.

Thank you for this certainly most substantial guide through the icehouse-scene! I will have studied every detail, before one day I crawl through that weed along the shore.
Looking for an empty hall, filled with sawdust and view to the open water. There was an elevator, in ruinous condition and it had been operated by a steam engine. Childhood impressions last, even if they are acquired through reading only.
