Atlantic Enterprise

Finally . . . Atlantic Enterprise and I get close-up, and it’s appropriate that it should happen over by Bergen Point, where I had an encounter with Atlantic Salvor so many years ago.

When I heard VTS mention her on the VHF, I was hoping she was light or towing on the wire.  No matter, with zoom I was able to get acceptable photos for now.

Atlantic Salvor these days appears to be in Mobile, after having done some post-Maria clean-up in Puerto Rico.

Enterprise has been operating on a dredging project near the mouth of the Connecticut River.  More on that tomorrow.

After the turn, she heads north into Newark Bay to the Donjon homeport with Witte 4003.
